Audio recording raises panic in US

NEW YORK, Jan. 06 (YPA) – Many air traffic controllers in New York City heard a frightening threat on Monday related to the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and the congressional vote to choose President-elect Joe Biden.

In an audio recording published by the American “CBS” network, a threat said, “We are flying a city plane to the Capitol on Wednesday. We will take revenge for Soleimani. ”

The threat refers to the commander of the Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a US raid on January 3 last year.

The network reported, citing sources, that the Pentagon and other security agencies were informed of the audio on Tuesday.

According to the network, “Whoever sent the recording is anonymous.” The FBI believes the warning of an attack is not serious, but it is being investigated as a breach of flight frequencies.
