A CHILLING threat to fly a plane into the US Capitol as Congress meets to confirm Joe Biden as the next president was revealed on Tuesday.

Multiple air traffic controllers in New York received the terror message on restricted channels on Monday, which said: “We are flying a plane into the Capitol Wednesday. Soleimani will be avenged.”

CBS reported: 

Multiple air traffic controllers in New York heard a chilling threat Monday in audio obtained exclusively by CBS News: “We are flying a plane into the Capitol on Wednesday. Soleimani will be avenged.”

The threat refers to Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian general killed last year in a U.S. drone strike ordered by President Trump. It was made on the one-year anniversary of Soleimani’s death, for which Iranian officials have long vowed revenge.

It’s unclear who sent the threat. While the government does not believe the warning of an attack is credible, it is being investigated as a breach of aviation frequencies, CBS News has learned. 

The Sun reported,

While the threat was not considered credible, it raises fears around how vulnerable US airspace communications may be to hacking.

Authorities are investigating the incident as a breach of aviation frequencies and the threat would be considered a crime.
