German Defense Minister Chided
Germany's defense minister, Franz Josef Jung, said he might order hijacked airliners shot down to avert a Sept. 11-style attack, drawing criticism after the country's highest court threw out a law permitting such action. In a magazine interview, Jung argued that shooting down a plane would be possible "in cases of common danger or danger to free and democratic basic order."
