Talk:Air France Flight 8969
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Where do the GIGN trained on a airbus aircraft before the assault? "There is no airport in Neuilly" well, you are maybe right but there are a lot of "Neuilly" in France and it maybe was on a military airfield, i haven't found yet where the training occured. Sensi.fr
--- Maybe needs a bit of a tidy up as its very sensationalised....

Which part? Sensi.fr ---
The GIA is linked to Bin Ladin? => perhaps; in any case, the GIA was striving for the establishment of an islamic state in Algeria ==> The GIA is older than Bin Laden
It is the first time that I've ever seen mention of US Marines being involved in this hostage crisis. Is there any confirmation? David.Monniaux 22:20, 14 Sep 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalized
This page was vandalized by someone who didn't logged in. I reveresed it. In particular, unless someone proves that the US gouvernment intervened in this affair, I see no point to mention it.

[edit] Gibberish
Someone vandalized the page. Or just had a brain explosion. Either way, I've just deleted the following gibberish. It had nothing to do with the article.
"During this hijacking,the four armed Algerian terrorists where simply trained by Ramzi Yousef and Abdul Murad.The thought of flying hijacked planes into landmarks was designed by Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda.This hijacking was a failure,but 9/11 was a result in Radical Islam and possibly future hijackings."
If it's not gibberish then would someone explain the relevence?
