An electrician working at New York's JFK airport happened upon a high-powered machine gun identified as a Mac-11, in an international terminal used for by Air France, Turkish Airlines, Korean Air and others, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The weapon -- capable of emptying a 32-round in under two seconds -- was hidden inside the ceiling of a maintenance closet, police said, adding that authorities with the Port Authority were investigating, but "not even slightly" worried the firearm could be a pawn in a larger terror plot.
