A militant group linked to the Dubai flight hijacking has issued a statement urging supporters to carry out attacks against U.S. citizens aboard commercial aircraft, framing the act as retaliation against American policies. The group explicitly praised the recent hijacking incident as a successful operation and warned that further strikes would escalate until the U.S. alters its course. Security officials are reviewing the threat amid heightened concerns over aviation safety, though no immediate credible risks have been identified. The call follows a period of heightened tensions involving extremist rhetoric targeting Western interests.
