OZschwitz: Sydney's worst laser attacks on aircraft

SIX aircraft flying into Sydney Airport have been hit in a co-ordinated attack by blinding green lights in what safety officials say is the city's worst laser attack.

Air traffic controllers closed the approach flight path and diverted incoming aircraft to a different runway on Friday night, forcing some flights to land up to half an hour late.

Air Services Australia said it was the first recorded "cluster attack" in which three or four people used lasers to make a co-ordinated attack on aircraft coming into the airport over heavily populated suburbs.

Last night airport sources said the aircraft belonged to Qantas, QantasLink and Eastern Australian Airlines. One of the pilots reported the laser beams appeared to be coming from the vicinity of a McDonald's restaurant near Bexley, about five kilometres south-west of the airport. Staff at the restaurant said they had not seen anything.

NSW Police Minister David Campbell vowed yesterday to change the law to classify powerful laser beams as illegal weapons.
