AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch police arrested 12 passengers on a U.S. Northwest Airlines plane bound for India which was forced to turn back to Amsterdam's Schiphol airport on Wednesday, news agency ANP reported.
ANP quoted a police spokesman as saying 12 were arrested, but declined to give further details due to the ongoing investigation.
Police officials were not immediately available to comment.
The Dutch Defense Ministry said earlier the pilot decided to turn back after the crew said several of the 149 passengers on flight 42 to Mumbai were behaving suspiciously.
Security has been increased at airports worldwide in the last two weeks after British police said they had foiled a plot by British Muslims to blow up planes in the mid-Atlantic using liquid explosives disguised as drinks.
ROP confirmed yet?
Interesting. I've been on that particular flight a few times.
There were 12 middle eastern men on the flight. 11 got up from their seats and handed their cell phones to one guy. That's when 2 air marshalls intervened and the airplane was routed back to Amsterdam."
a stunt to get themselves arrested for the MSM.... all the more reason to have laws against such things and stiff jail time for creating panic.
Yep. All blonds.
Fully bunked. Read the book.
Except to fly them out of this country.
Until Muslims stop teaching Jihad, calling for everyone's death and constantly following through on the Korans direction to kill infidels,--- segregate them.
Semper Fi
There are 150 million Indian Muslims....
Jeeze only 150 million??? Scary!

Hahah me too, now I think of it. But IAH-AMS-DEL, not AMS-BOM.

Relevant conversation starts at 2 min: 45 sec of clip.
Very interesting....wonder how much is true?
"several of the 149 passengers on flight 42 to Mumbai were behaving suspiciously."
Good. Then they can go back to their country and say, "look, we can't travel around at all, because of profiling. Knock off the terrorism, or we cut off YOUR head."
That's good question unless they derived an explosive material or IED that can be improvised from these batteries.
How about a nice split S or Immelman? I bet the aircraft could do it if he dumped some fuel first.
I dunno, but I think a lot of them are playing mind games.
CIA World Factbook has the breakdown as 80.5% Hinu, 13.4% Muslim. That means 1.1 billion x 13.4% ~= 147 million.
And if it was, what does it mean? How does it make sense for one guy to use a dozen different cell phones to accomplish something?
