Tigermike 3,053 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Federal investigators questioning six Middle Eastern men removed from flight at MSP5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has learned that federal investigators and airport police are questioning six Middle Eastern men who had to be escorted off of a plane Monday afternoon at Minneapolis/St. Paul International. U.S. Airway officials tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS' Aviation Expert Bob McNaney that Monday while Flight 300 was preparing to take off from Minneapolis to Phoenix, a passenger passed a note to a flight attendant saying they noticed 'suspicious behavior,' among the men. The men would not get off the plane when asked, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has learned, and had to be removed by police. Sources tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that the men were chanting 'Allah, Allah, Allah,' as they were transported down the jetway. Late Monday, federal investigators were still trying to determine exactly who the men are. One source tells 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that the men said that they were in town for the weekend for a religious conference. The other passengers on the flight, which was carrying 170 people, were re-screened for boarding, and it took off about three hours late.

AURaptor 1,126 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Gee, do ya think the writer made it clear enough for the reader that this story came to us from 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS ? The story is that they were praying. I frankly don't care. Middle Eastern men on a plane speaking in Arabic and uttering 'Allah' will get tossed every time here in the U.S. That's just how it is now.

Bottomfeeder 244 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I'm surprised they are still alive. I guess the unneeded killing is only for mentally ill Americans . http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10367598/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUloggerhead 2,253 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 ... An airport police report said a US Airways manager said three of the men had one-way tickets and no checked baggage. A passenger told police the men were praying and making critical comments about the war in Iraq. Some of the men also asked for seat belt extensions even though a flight attendant told police she thought they didn't need them. ... Bravo to all the officials involved. I see where the Imams are calling for a boycott of US Airways. Excellent. US Airways is now my #1 choice for airline service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
