Report: Indonesian Pilots May Have Been Radicalized by ISIS
(CNN)Authorities in Australia are concerned about the potential radicalization of two Indonesian commercial pilots, according to an intelligence report obtained by the news website The Intercept.
The report, marked Australian Federal Police (AFP), profiles two Indonesian pilots who “both appear to be influenced by pro (Islamic State) elements.” It details the social media behavior of the two men who the AFP believe posed potential security threats because of their knowledge of aviation and possible radicalization.
“It should raise a lot of concern for everybody,” said CNN aviation analyst Les Abend. “Commercial pilots have intimate knowledge of not only the airplane, but of security procedures and so on and so forth.”
