*I figure this should go in General discussion for now as there doesn't seem to be much of a 'conspiracy' or much to debunk yet.*

Missing Libyan Jetliners Raise Fears of Suicide Airliner Attacks on 9/11
Al Jazeera - Planes Destroyed as Rockets Hit Airport.
According to this article; The government (Libya?) says that 90% of the planes were destroyed by rockets.
Here is the location on Google Maps (link). According to Google Earth; the satellite images were taken on 7/24/2014 which is prior to the current report of 11 missing airliners, but after Al Jazeera's reporting of 90% of planes 'destoyed'. However, 'destroyed' in this context could be a bad translation that was intended to mean "inoperable" as most commercial aircraft probably won't take alot of damage and still fly.
That being said, I would have to wonder how many of those planes would have been able to take off after those attacks. I would also add that if 11 planes had infact disappeared; why aren't these 'officials' providing basic information like the makes, models and registration numbers of the aircraft?
It's all I got right now and I've already been up way too late as usual......

Missing Libyan Jetliners Raise Fears of Suicide Airliner Attacks on 9/11
Alot of vague references to "Officals", but no names nor anything else verify the veracity of these claims which is pretty typical.
Islamist militias in Libya took control of nearly a dozen commercial jetliners last month, and western intelligence agencies recently issued a warning that the jets could be used in terrorist attacks across North Africa.
Intelligence reports of the stolen jetliners were distributed within the U.S. government over the past two weeks and included a warning that one or more of the aircraft could be used in an attack later this month on the date marking the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against New York and Washington, said U.S. officials familiar with the reports.
“There are a number of commercial airliners in Libya that are missing,” said one official. “We found out on September 11 what can happen with hijacked planes.”
