Official says link between terrorist attack warning and missing airliner unlikely (2014/03/10)

As the search continues for the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370, local attention has turned to a terrorist threat warning received in Taiwan. The head of the National Security Bureau says that China Airlines received a warning last week about a possible terrorist attack on Beijing. The missing Malaysian flight was Beijing bound, but the bureau says the warning likely isn’t related to the missing airliner. 

This afternoon two ships from the Coast Guard Administration left the Port of Kaohsiung. They were heading for where the Malaysian Airlines flight was thought to have crashed, in order to join the search and rescue mission.

The Civil Aeronautics Administration and security agencies also gave their first confirmation that China Airlines received a terrorist threat warning on March 4.

Aviation Police Bureau
The phone call came from a group that described itself as a French counter-terrorism organization. It called the service center of the China Airlines Corporation. A man spoke in French then switched to (Mandarin) with a Cantonese accent. He said that the ‘Turkish’ East Turkestan Liberation Organization could launch an attack similar to that seen at Kunming Station in Beijing Airport.

National Security Bureau
We did receive information saying that a terrorist group was preparing to attack Beijing Capital International Airport and the subway. It is not likely that this information is related to what happened to the Malaysian Airlines jet.

The National Security Bureau says it took the threat seriously.

A legislator asked bureau chief Tsai De-sheng whether terrorist groups could use Taiwanese airports as a gateway for launching attacks on China. Tsai acknowledged this possibility by saying that after his bureau received last week’s threat, security was increased at domestic airports. Particular attention was given to passengers on flights heading to Beijing.

國安接警告

從上週六就失蹤的馬航班機,傳出可能遭到恐怖攻擊,包括國安局跟民航局都證實,馬航事件爆發前,華航曾經接到恐怖攻擊的警告電話,國安單位立即加強機場的安全檢查。除了加強機場的維安之外,馬總統也要求國防部跟海巡署,立即派遣船艦到飛機失聯的海域,加入搜救行列。

海巡署兩艘船艦,下午三點準時從高雄港出發,目的地就是馬航班機,失聯的海域,要加入搜救的行列。

另外,民航局跟國安單位,也首度證實,原來早在三月四號,華航就接到恐怖攻擊的警告電話。

[[航警局長 王隆]]
這個電話是那一個自稱法國的反恐組織,他打電話到中華航空公司,勤務中心來報案,這個男子是操法國口音法語,後來又轉廣東腔,說土耳其的東突組織,可能會發動類似昆明車站式的,攻擊北京機場。

[[國安局長 蔡得勝]]
確實有收獲恐怖份子,準備攻擊北京首都機場,跟地鐵的訊息,那個訊息跟馬航這個事情,應該不是一個相關性,很高的訊息。

聲稱警告電話與馬航失聯應關係不大,但國安局仍不敢大意。

立委問國安局長蔡得勝,恐怖份子是否會利用台灣的機場,做為未來要攻擊中國一個通道,蔡得勝只表示,接到訊息以後,就加強了機場的安維檢查,尤其是到北京到中國的飛機。
