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.
Norwegen tourists no doubt.
Hmmmm going to Mumbai. Even though that is India I bet you they were Pakistani.
Must be a group of Calvinists.
From an earlier thread:
"An anonymous caller to KQRS in Minneapolis (home of NWA)said this was a serious incident. 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."
YIKES!!!
FoxNews reporting something about the detainees trying to use cell phones on board the plane.
[details still sketchy]
probably grammas - nothing to see here move along
Fox reporting that they pulled out cell phones. Not confirmed. US Passenger saying they were "South Asian."
Speculation on "connecting the dots", anyone?
Right now, I'm wondering if the Islamofascists have a sexual obsession with cell phones?
but of course the thousands of cell phones purchased last week by Muslims in America is nothing - they just had a little side business going
FoxNews reporting that an American passenger reported that 11 of the detainees appeared to be 'South Asian'.
Brits call Indo/pakis "Asian." The passenger may have been using that sense.
Damn those Laplanders !
Come on now. If you try real hard I know you can say Arab or Muslim, or even Islamic.
Must be one of them PC liberal Americans. Next thing you know, all terrorists will be referred to as "earth citizen".
Robert Schuler and Joel Osteen's wife got in a scuffle with some mullahs.
