| Tons of 'Bunker-Buster' Bomb Parts for Israel Go Through JFK Airport An Israeli airline shipped thousands of pounds worth of parts for controversial 'bunker-buster' bombs through John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York during the height of the Israeli-U.S. war against Iran, according to a new investigation by a left-wing research group. Challenge Airlines, a cargo hauler based in Israel, made three flights this spring carrying the bomb casings for BLU-109s -- a 2,000-pound munition that has been tied to numerous mass-casualty attacks on civilian neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and Iran in recent years -- according to open-source data obtained by the Movement Research Unit and reviewed by The Intercept. |
