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.
That "debunking" has long since been itself debunked.
That's a standard reply. And it's almost always appropriate. Unless one tends to believe the government's trying to sweep everything under the rug.
Annie Jacobsen's book is Terror in the Skies, published by Spence Publishing
They were mormons and all 11 wives wanted to talk to hubby at the same, hence the phone handoff. Now move along!!!!
The name of Annie Jacobsen's book is "Terror in the Skies". I found it to be QUITE compelling!
There is no longer any reason to allow anyone who is Islamic to fly.
<< Norwegen tourists no doubt. >>
Rampaging Lapps and Finns?
The very strictest, no. The younger generation(under 40) will use them but they aren't allowed to actually own them. The owning belongs to young males that get automatically ejected from the Amish church at 18. They live a "western" lifestyle, drive(mostly to drive Amish around) and do everything we would do. When they find a girl and marry her in the Amish church, they renounce all of that and go back to living like Amish.
I worked for a number of years in the Lumber business in Holmes county Ohio. I knew many Amish, most were Harvey and/or a Miller :).
And I forget who asked earlier, but her book is entitled Terror in the Skies: Why 9-11 Could Happen Again .
I wondered about their take on it. I read her book and I thought it was compelling.
I re-read it about a week ago. There isn't anything vague or fluff-headed about it. She merely reported something that apparently isn't that rare at all.
She does a pretty good job of defending herself in the book. She doesn't need me.
Maybe they all belonged to one woman and she wanted to talk with # 12, who had left his phone at home :')
Some do use cordless phones. They keep the chargers and the phone lines connected to a "shack" at the end of the lane since they are not allowed to have wires attached to their houses.
I understand that this is at the discretion of the local Elders who have a lot of say in what is/is not allowed locally.
I got this information from a Mennonite friend whose father used to be Amish. His brothers and sisters now treat him like he had converted to satanism.
One-way tickets? True. But they were already booked on JetBlu for a follow-on flight.
Expired visas? Yes, except for the one fellow who was a U.S. citizen.
Ignored by authorities? Utterly false. Something like 4-5 different agencies interviewed these men.
If the air marshals agreed with Ms. Jacobsen, I'd be concerned. They did not; I am not.
Indeed. If they want to go back to the 7th century, let them walk or ride horses or sail dhows. Whay let Moslems use any modern form of transportation at all? Railways are an instrument of the infidel, no more of those either. Nothing like shanks mare or riding an ass to help them get perspective.
No no.. incorrect. In britspeak, Asian, and South Asian mean the same thing. Indian or Pakistani.
Is that breakaway sect of Zoroastrans at it AGAIN!!?? :-)
It's those Serbs/Slavs again.
