Feds: Unruly air traveler, 19, was "singing about Usama bin Laden"
FEBRUARY 22--The man who repeatedly yelled “Allah is great” as he was removed yesterday from a plane that was forced to make an emergency landing due to his unruly behavior is a 19-year-old Saudi Arabian who was arrested Sunday night after he led Oregon police on a drunken car chase that saw him ram two cop cars and attempt to run over pedestrians, The Smoking Gun has learned.
According to investigators, Yazeed Mohammed Abunayyan was smoking an electronic cigarette on a Continental Airlines flight traveling from Portland to Houston. When a flight attendant directed Abunayyan to stop smoking (or relinquish the device), he refused and began “yelling profanities and swinging his fist at the flight attendant,” according to an indictment filed this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Portland.
Abunayyan, pictured in the mug shot at right, also hit or attempted to hit other passengers and was “speaking or singing about Usama bin Laden and his hatred of women,” the indictment charges. Abunayyan, who reportedly has been in the U.S. visiting relatives, was charged with a felony count of interfering with flight crew members.
Male passengers on the Boeing 737 helped a flight attendant subdue Abunayyan, who was removed from the plane in plastic handcuffs and turned over to FBI agents. The Continental flight returned to Portland 20 minutes after departure.
Abunayyan, who is scheduled to appear later this afternoon before a federal magistrate, was arrested Sunday evening by cops after a wild car chase in Medford, an Oregon city 275 miles south of Portland.
Police reported that the intoxicated teenager led them on a 20-minute chase that ended after his Ford sedan got stuck on a dirt embankment. During the chase, Abunayyan was spotted driving in circles, attempting to run over pedestrians, and driving the wrong way on a street. He also rammed two patrol cars.
"It was like ‘Grand Theft Auto',” a witness told a local newspaper.
Abunayyan was booked late Sunday into the Jackson County jail on a variety of charges, including driving under the influence of intoxicants, assault on a police officer, criminal mischief, hit and run, and reckless endangerment.
He was freed from custody Monday around 6 PM after posting $65,000 bond. Which allowed him, a day later, to board Flight 1118, albeit briefly. (2 pages)
How did this ugly piece of filth manage to get on a commercial aircraft after leading police on a chase and striking two police cars and attempting to run over pedestrians? Something in this story isn’t quite right ...
Waiting for the whole story to be picked up by the msm and repeated all day long on tv.
A better question might be: "How did this assclown get into the country in the first place."
They hate the West.
Why are they here ?
Foreign national attempts to murder American citizen pedestrians, assaults police officers, commits several felonies. But last time at the airport the stopped the grandma in front of me because her artificial hip and shoulder set off the metal detector. She went through the humiliation of the wand and pat down. This fellow has no problem with boarding a commercial plane. Way to go TSA!
That ugly piece of filth MAY have diplomatic immunity! I’ve seen it used before as a get-out-of-jail-free card! Or, to not even GO to jail!
“They hate the West.
Why are they here ?”
To take advantage of what they can’t have in their home country. Unfortunately, their behavior reflects badly on those who come here to escape the treatment in their home country and want to embrace citizenship in the U.S.
They can go to strip clubs,casinos and drink alcohol.
If a non-Muslim pulled a stunt like this in one of THEIR countries, you would not hear about it.
He’d be tossed into slam so fast it would make his head spin. No one would see or hear from him again.
Seems he had some means to post bail, which to me, seems a lot (even if “only” 10%) for a 19 year old to manage, unless there are relatives or others with some means.
Why wasn’t he in jail on the first one?
Why do we continue to let these freaks set one foot on US soil?
A few kicks to the head would have calmed his unruly arse down...
.
Here's what's wrong with this picture:
Did anyone learn from 9-11???
Did the authorities run a ‘DHS’ check on him while in initial custody?
If not. Then why not? If so, why release him?
The entire Islamic world.
The only people who learned anything were the flight attendant and passengers who subdued this horrible creature. People on planes know if they don’t defend themselves, they will die.
