WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Transportation Security Administration has warned
aircraft owners and airport managers that Muslim extremists may be targeting
private American jets and urged them to boost security.

"On April 13, 2006, a message posted in Arabic on an Internet forum explained
how to identify private American jets and urged Muslims to destroy all such
aircraft," the TSA said in an advisory issued on Thursday and obtained by Reuters
on Friday.

The TSA quoted the Arabic message as saying: "We call upon all Muslims to follow
and identify private civilian American aircrafts in all airports of the world."

"It is the duty of Muslims to destroy all types of private American aircraft
that are of the types Gulfstream and Lear Jet and all small aircraft usually
used by distinguished (people) and businessmen," it quoted the message as saying.

Interestingly, the terrorists are also targeting a plane believed to be used by the CIA.
