2001 G8 Summit
The planned Al Qaeda attacks on the 2001 G8 summit indeed showed that Al Qaeda wanted to use planes as weapons. However, the foiled G8 plot and 9/11 need to be distinguished in several respects:
G8 9/11
Pilots Neo-Nazis Radical Islamists
Remote control Humans in cockpit
Planes Small Jumbo jets
Explosives No Explosives
Targets Diplomatic Military & economic
G8 9/11
Pilots Neo-Nazis Radical Islamists
Remote control Humans in cockpit
