You won’t see this headline though in the media. What you’ll see is “Police identify woman who attacked pilots on flight”.

From Jihad Watch:

The woman, who also made bomb threats, is a 33-year-old Blenheim resident.

Both pilots, who suffered knife wounds, are now in hospital and Police and Transport Minister Annette King has called for an urgent report on the incident.

The woman, who police said was originally from Somalia, made bomb threats claiming there were two bombs on board the plane. [...]

Both pilots have been taken to hospital with knife wounds and one had severe cuts to his hands. [...]

In reading the comments on this story a commenter talks about New Zealand security:

I travelled to Auckland in a similar plane last month. You don’t go through any security at these small regional airports like Blenheim. There is none. I’ve always thought the pilots were very vulnerable as there is no door to the cockpit and because they’re small planes they have no stewardess. Sadly this is the wakeup call NZ needed but the laid back way of life there is now going to be history. Just guessing but this was not a hijack – it was following the Koran to “slay the infidels wherever ye find them”.
