"Well, that DOES it! We should run away from every airport in the world. No more flying - ever. We should cut and run and redeploy to Okinawa."

Didn't Jean Francoise Kerry state that terrorists threats were over exaggerated? Glad that dickhead did not become president.

I fear to even bring this up, but if this UK plot, including this hijacking, turns out to be Iranian, will the US and UK have any choice but to begin military action against Iran?

[Sir Gawain]

Random attack not related to terrorism. Next!

THANK GOD, For George W's War on Terror, or we would have more choas and destruction in our own Country.

Man Tries to Enter Qatar Plane's Cockpit

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) -- A man tried to force his way into the cockpit of a Qatari Airways flight Thursday before he was restrained and the plane returned safely to Amman, airport officials said, adding that they did not believe it was a hijacking attempt.

The flight was on route from the Jordanian capital to Doha, Qatar, when the incident occurred.

The man, whose nationality was not immediately known, started walking to the cockpit, screaming at flight attendants and demanding to talk to the pilot, before he was restrained, said one airport official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the information was still preliminary.

Another airport official said he did not believe the man was trying to hijack the flight, which turned around and landed in Amman.

I hope they threw his A$$ right out the door of the plane over a pig farm.....we need to start taking the gloves off with these creeps....

[PEACE ENFORCER]

This is getting rediculous. All MUSLIMS between the ages of ..... well all ages now that I'm thinking about it, should not be allowed on Planes, Trains, or Automobiles. They need to go back to riding their Donkey's until they start behaving like normal human beings.

AMMAN, Jordan - A man aboard a Qatari Airways flight fought with flight attendants Thursday, prompting the pilot to return to Amman, but the incident was not a hijacking attempt, a government spokesman said.

Initial reports from airport security officials and a Qatari Airlines spokesman said the man, identified as an Eritrean, tried to force his way into the cockpit carrying a canister that the officials said contained a liquid.

But Jordanian government spokesman Nasser Judeh told The Associated Press that it "was a quarrel and not a hijacking attempt" and that the liquid was medicine.

The man had tried to go to a bathroom 10 minutes after the flight took off from Amman for the Qatari capital, Doha, Judeh said.

When the attendants told the passenger he could not leave his seat yet, he pushed an attendant to the ground before others restrained him, Judeh said. The pilot returned the plane to Amman, where the man was detained.

Airport security officials confirmed the story, saying the man started screaming that he wanted to speak to the pilot to complain about the flight attendants for stopping him.

The incident came hours after Britain announced it had foiled a major terrorist plot to blow up airplanes headed to the United States from London's Heathrow Airport. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the terrorists planned to use liquid explosives disguised as beverages and other common products and set them off with detonators disguised as electronic devices.

A man on his way to Ah-mmon
Got mad when barred from the john
His ploy was stopped short
Mark up one more thwart
I think I'll have a bon-bon

Since the murderous jihadists are desperate they will continue making mistakes.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

Yeah. I'll bet many, many airplane hijackings were scheduled around the world for August 16th. What better way to create mass confusion. What a swell set-up for Iran and whatever they've got up their sleeve for August 22nd...
