First sentence: In the wake of the 11 September 2001 suicide attack that destroyed the World Trade Center in New York and in the light of Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) attacks on commercial aircraft (such as the weapon fired at an Israeli Boeing 757 at Mombassa during November 2002 and the damaging (by an SA-7 Grail round) of a DHL A300B4 freighter taking off from Baghdad International Airport on 22 November 2003), serious consideration is being given to the introduction of appropriate countermeasures systems aboard airliners and VIP aircraft.
