BREAKING: Man Tries to Light Shoes on DC to Denver Flight

This is breaking right now. A man on a flight from DC to Denver was tackled by air marshals as he attempted to light his shoes on fire.

More info to come...

More (9:42): I'm told the plane has just landed. All passengers are uninjured and the man is in custody.

Later (9:47): I'm a bit ahead of the news. Trying to get more info from DIA.

Another attempted shoebomber from within the United States raises questions about the usefulness of the TSA's "take those shoes off" policy.

Later (9:56) Talked to media contact at DIA. They're calling it a "security disturbance". The plane was from Reagan to DIA. It was met upon arrival by the TSA, FBI, and airport PD. It will have no impact on airport operations. There are no flight holds at present.

The suspect was identified by authorities as a diplomat in the Qatar embassy in Washington, Mohammed al Modadi. The FBI said the man had full diplomat immunity as the 3rd secretary and vice-consul.

Well, it’s obvious that this guy wasn’t selected randomly for a separate screening, as I was on Monday morning. IDIOTS!

Is he a Muzzie? And what is it about Denver? They’ve had a number of “airport disturbances” and Muslim nutters there lately.

He's got a Qatari passport.

I thought profiling was back in use. That's what the propaganda ministry said last week.

Report is confirmed from multiple sources now — would you edit the title and restore to breaking news?
