No doubt this publicity should flush Abdul out....

This guy is serious about completing his mission.

'Suspicious' Air France passenger a no-show -- again. Well duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh!

[leadpenny]

Exactly. Why are they telling us this?

[oceanview]

either that, or they are testing the system by booking tickets under various pseudonyms. they could get this person any identity they wanted to fly.

[Dog]

Could be French spin....in case this guy manages to get on a plane some day..

[Peach]

My bet is he's already found a workaround for getting into the country. OR, they are using names on passenger lists to see what our response is.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

No doubt!

[Dog]

I don't think he wants to get in our country ....he wants the plane for a suicide mission.

[Peach]

But will it be a suicide mission in this country or another? Regardless, hope we get him, and soon.

[SJSAMPLE]

If I had the same name as a suspected terrorist, I wouldn't be showing up for many appointments, either. Especially knowing how AQ operatives are being hunted down. But, why would an AQ terrorist want to leave France? They're safest there.

[breakem]

Perhaps he wants to fly INTO an american city.

[DannyTN]

As I was going up the stair,
I met a man who was not there,
he wasn't there again today,
I wish that man would go away

[ClancyJ]

Perhaps he has been "eliminated" by his "friends" since he is high risk now.

[breakem]

I think it was a made up name to create disruption around the holidays. IMO

[ClancyJ]

Could be. Who knows?

[DannyTN]

"I think it was a made up name to create disruption around the holidays. IMO" "The sources added that this passenger was a regular on the Bombay-Paris and Paris-Los Angeles flights " - Article

It doesn't sound like it's a made up name as he apparently has a regular habit of flying. They don't tell us when the second reservation was made, but my guess is that he made them in advance and won't ever be using that name again.
