Not to make light of terrorist threats, but, wasn't this part of the plot of "Die Hard With A Vengeance"?

#1(barefoot in the builing), take-over of a commercial back (for purposes of stealing vault contents) using a terrorist front to get them febee guys to cut the power.

#2(barefoot in the airport), bombs in airport, I think for covering up drug dealing

#3(barefoot in New York), random bombs all through NYC fro purpose of covering up a break-in to the NYC-based gold reserve

Why on earth do I recall these things?

Nice to see the alleged journalist sticking in the line "not thought to be linked to Islamic militants" just to reinforce the media line that all bad things in the world must first be assumed to be the fault of foam-flecked Koran-bashing towelheads. /bitterness /ashamed of my profession-ness

Tom Clancy had a jumbo jet crash into Capitol Hill at the end of one of his books - possibly Debt of Honour - written in the late nineties. OK, it was flown by a disgruntled Japanese pilot after a US-Japanese war, but still - the only instance I know of before 9/11 of commercial airliners being used as weapons.
