WASHINGTON DC – The terrorist organization Al Qaeda may wish death to America, but that hasn't stopped it from filing a class-action lawsuit over what it calls the government's "unreasonable" and "unconstitutional" ban on carrying loaded firearms onto commercial aircraft.
Mikael Yisrael, of Shimon, Hillel & Yisrael, has confirmed that his law firm is representing Al Qaeda in a U.S. federal court in Washington, D.C., which Al Qaeda eventually hopes to crash a plane into should the ban be overturned.
"Show me the word 'airplane' in the Constitution," Yisrael rhetorically asked reporters, before reading a prepared statement by Al Qaeda:
"We, the World Islamic Front for Combat Against the Jews and Crusaders, have dozens of sleeper agents in your country. Many have lived in America for decades. Some have been born there. They vote, they drive the speed limit, they pay their taxes on time. So why should they be prohibited from carrying an M4 carbine with a thirty round magazine onto one of your aircraft?"
