AMSTERDAM (BNO NEWS) -- Two men were arrested aboard a United Airlines flight after landing at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport on Monday, ABC News reported.
The network, citing Dutch public prosecutor Ernst Koelman, said the men were arrested at the request of American authorities after the flight landed in Amsterdam. ABC said the men were subsequently charged with "preparation of a terrorist attack."
The two were allowed to board the flight at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago on Sunday night despite security concerns surrounding one of them, officials told ABC News, which identified the men as Ahmed Mohamed Nasser al Soofi, of Detroit, MI, and Hezam al Murisi.
and what could they have been charged with. I mean
besides being Islamic and having taped together articles
in their bags?
no laws were broken here.
Oh ponygirl, I get those too but don’t have that level of ‘hits.’
So tell me what you are saying and please fill us in.
The holiday weekend of travel is of course a perfect time for trouble with the heavy traveling taxing everyone and the system to the max.

were the boxcutters in checked bags? I once had a small pocket knife confiscated because I forgot it was in my purse, so I question whether they really got thru security with box cutters.
Islam is the mother of terrorism. Islam is about religious war, religious dominance, no respect for individual or religious rights, tyranny and brutal violence. Islam does not recognize our Constitution, separation of “church” and state, or the rule of secular law. Mosques and sharia courts should be outlawed, since they promote violence and are subversive.
In order to provide leadership and some comfort for the thousands of Hamas operatives that the administration is spending millions of dollars to import into the USA.
Murisi seems to be Yemeni in origen. I think that it is not very common. I don’t have an Arabian Peninsula gazetteer at hand or I could check if it is derived from a Yemen placename.
Me, too...very disturbing dreams of vague disasters lately.
Could be from watching the Weather Channel just before bedtime!
This makes going through airport security entirely worthwhile.
I know, and I have posted this now that the details have become clearer. The first stories were very confused.
The reason they were detected was that one of them checked his luggage through but then did not board the flight on which it was checked, and this apparently triggers a response, which in turn resulted in his checked baggage being searched.
It was definitely a dry run, no matter what the FBI says. The Muslims wanted to see how good our systems were, and they wanted to do so without doing anything that could get them arrested. Hence no explosives or anything “dirty.”
I guess they found out that our systems are pretty good. So they’ll try something else next time.
that is a good one.
I did read that. I hope that it’s true and not cover.
