* Third scare in two days for air passengers in America * Security alerts at U.S. train stations and airports after death of Bin Laden * Passengers say man yelled 'God is great' in Arabic as he rushed up the aisle * 'We were all looking at our lives flash before our eyes'
Crew members and passengers wrestled a 28-year-old man to the cabin floor after he began pounding on the cockpit of a plane approaching San Francisco.
The man was yelling as he brushed past a flight attendant about 10 minutes before American Airlines Flight 1561 from Chicago was due to land on Sunday night, police said.
Rageit Almurisi, 28, carried a Yemen passport but his nationality is not clear, a spokesman said. he man has no clear or known ties to terrorism and authorities have still not yet established a motive, San Francisco police Sergeant Michael Rodriguez told the San Francisco Chronicle.
Passengers told of how Almurisi was heard to shout 'Allahu Akbar' - or 'God is great'.
Passenger Angelina Marty said: 'I kept saying to myself, "What's he doing? Does he have a bomb? Is he armed?".'
Ms Marty, 35, said she and other passengers were stunned when Almurisi walking down the aisle. She said a woman in a row across from her who speaks Arabic translated that Almurisi said 'God is Great' in Arabic. Andrew Wai, another passenger, told KGO-TV that the wife of one of the men who took Almurisi down later said Almurisi was yelling 'Allahu Akbar'.
Ms Marty said: 'There was no question in everybody's mind that he was going to do something. Everybody was fixated on him. You never think that something like that would happen in your life.

Note that the police are permitted to lie all the time. Nothing to see here.
Sudden Jihad Syndrome strikes again!
I think many Americans are now capable of knowing what “Allu Akhbar” means
Sudden Jihad Syndrome strikes yet again
“We have no evidence of his motive”
aside from breaking into the cockpit while chanting a now-familiar death prayer...
the same one repeated by the murderers at the controls of Flts 93 and other planes on 9-11
the Egyptair captain as he dove his plane into the sea
by the Valentines massacre shooter in Utah
the Ft Hood murderer and too many others to even name.
Isolated extremists all. But hey, Christians murder too! (sarc)
sheesh
Headed for San Francisco .....I can think of some other destinations where this toord would have been beaten to within an inch of his life.
Can anyone confirm? I’ve heard that the usual translation for that phrase “God is Great” has been politically cleansed. That the real translation that we never hear is really “God is Greatest” - meaning that their god is better than the God of the infidels. Do I have this right?
Yemen passport. You gotta love those diversity visas!
Why would the flight attendant be yelling allahu ackbar?...........
Hey, don’t be profiling. He could have been an innocent printer cartridge deliveryman. [/sarc]
LOL!
or just playing with matches in his underwear
“Headed for San Francisco .....I can think of some other destinations where this toord would have been beaten to within an inch of his life.”
Yeah, me too! Pretty much anywhere in the US south of the Mason Dixon line!
...and you will continue to add to “the list” for years to come, until some adults are able to get serious that this isn’t about radical Islam. No, this is about ISLAM.
Should of got more then a couple bruises from the incident...
If that had happened I’m sure you would have been arrested charged and the jihadi released. Americans are the real terrorists according to the DHS.
One thing you could say to an Arab who’s doing something like this is, “Ya kalb!” which means, “You dog!” This is one of the most extreme insults you can hurl at an Arab.
Another Amish activist?
I seriously doubt that King Jesus is sitting enthroned above the stars recognizing some distinction between Satan and Radical Satan.
And about half of America would consider you a hero for doing so.
