THE HAGUE (AFP) - Twelve passengers on a Northwest Airlines flight that returned to Amsterdam's Schiphol airport after the pilot raised an alert over worrying behaviour have been arrested, the Dutch ANP news agency has reported.
The plane was flying from the Dutch capital to Mumbai, India, with 149 passengers on board on Wednesday when what the pilot called "behavior of concern" prompted him to return to Amsterdam.
The plane was escorted by two Dutch air force jets.

Funny thing I saw today. Our local theater has two movies on its marquee: "Snakes on a Plane" and "World Trade Center."
Made me laugh.

Naahhh- its them militant Mennonites. They've been blending in with the Dutch, learning how to make bombs out of tulip bulbs!
No way it could be any of the peace-loving, tolerant, don't-suspect-us-just because we're Islamic types!
We're so bigoted and judgemental...and Muslims make it SOOOOO easy!

Any names? I haven't heard any reports, but I'd bet that Muhammad figures in there several times.
