Chilling threat sent to air traffic controllers vowing revenge for killing of Iranian general is under investigation
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/threat-air-traffic-control-iranian-general-qassem-soleimani-revenge/
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.
