FBI outlines reasons why six Southwest Airlines passengers were arrested and charged in Amarillo
Dallas Morning News ^ | 9/1/2015 | Terry Maxon

FBI special agent T. Scott Hendricks has filed an affidavit explaining why Southwest Airlines diverted a San Diego-Chicago flight to Amarillo late Monday and booted six passengers off the flight.

The six, said to be members of a San Diego area soccer team, were subsequently arrested and charged with “interference with a flight crew and abetting.”

Basically, according to Hendricks per Southwest, the passengers –Khalid Yohana, 19; Wasim Imad Shaker, 23; Essa Solaqa, 20; Ghazwan Assad Shaba, 21; Jonathan Khalid Petras, 20; and Saiman Hermez, 19– were refusing orders from the flight attendants, challenging their authority and being mean to other passengers.

NOTHING will happen to them same as NOTHING happened to the one who threatened the Life of a flight attendent friend of mine on a flight into Detroit. The Agent who took her statement said they ALREADY knew of this person yet he was still allowed to fly.

Probably still is, with 6 of them with connections to the muslim brotherhood on the Homeland Security Advisory Committee my bet is that reports of these incidents are being stimied right there. Also her statement vanished from her company’s emp. file.

I requested my Rep to find out if that person was put on the No Fly list and he told me that they would not tell him if he was or not.

You or I threaten the life of a flight crew member not only are we on the no fly list there is going to be some jail time also.

FUBO!

Were they in Kansas air space at that time? Even airlines are forbidden to serve alcohol over Kansas!

At lest that was the rule back in 1976!

Going by their names I wouldn’t necessarily assume they were Muslim.
Something about them indicates non-Muslim Middle Easterners.
I want to say Lebanese, but need more info.
“Jonathan Khalid Petras” just doesn’t fit.

the affidavit, a written statement confirmed by oath or affirmation, for use as evidence in court. is simply stating why they were removed, it had nothing to do with their disposition which was arrested, even the title says they were arrested and charged

Why do these clowns want to live with us? We don’t want to live with them. Will these cowards even defend their own homeland?

I don’t care if you have a regular normal name or one that is an explosion of alphabet soup...being rich, famous, talented or “black privileged” does not let you act like an idiot. Sit down and shut the hell up while people are trying to fly a million dollar, umptity-thousand pound hunk of metal through the air in defiance of gravity with hundreds of lives aboard. Moron.”

Gravity is RACIS.

Khalid Yohana was 7 years old when war reached his hometown of Mosul, Iraq.

The family fled to a small village north, but when Yohana’s school was bombed a year later, they left Iraq for good. They traveled to Beirut, Lebanon, and applied for refugee status so they could move to the United States legally.

In 2010, Yohana and his family arrived in San Diego. The family appreciated the safety of their new home, but they also encountered new problems. Yohana’s father struggled to find work, and the entire family found it challenging to navigate a new country and culture.

To help support young refugees, Kabban started the YALLA program in 2009. The name is an acronym for Youth And Leaders Living Actively, but in Arabic it simply means “Let’s go.” YALLA provides free tutoring and soccer training to 200 boys and girls in the San Diego area.

While soccer is what mostly motivates the players, it’s just a carrot to Kabban. Many of his players have missed years of formal schooling on their road to the United States, so the mandatory twice-a-week tutoring sessions are an integral part of the program.

According to the U.S. State Department, more than 10,000 refugees from around the world have moved to the San Diego area legally since 2007, making it one of the largest refugee resettlement areas in the country.

Many of those newcomers, like Yohana, are Iraqis who are under 18. The vast majority live in El Cajon, a city in San Diego County where YALLA is based. Mark spreads the word about the group by visiting area schools.

Most of the players in the program are Iraqi, but the group has players from across the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Sometimes ethnic and religious differences can lead to conflict, but Kabban says that as the soccer season progresses, the differences fall by the wayside.

“Going by their names I wouldn’t necessarily assume they were Muslim.”

They were on their way to the 82nd Annual Assyrian Convention. According to Wiki:


Assyrian people (Syriac:), also known as Chaldeans,[35] Syriacs,[36] and Arameans,[37] (see names of Syriac Christians) are an Christian,[38] Semitic,[39] ethnoreligious group[39] indigenous to the Middle East.[40] Most Assyrians speak a Neo-Aramaic language,[41] whose subdivisions include Assyrian, Chaldean, Turoyo, and Western, as well as another language, dependent on the country of residence.[42]

The Assyrians are a Christian people, with most of them following various Eastern Rite Churches.

I have had about all the "enrichment" to our culture from them that I can take! Most of them don't give a damn about this country. They are just here to change our country into the same hellhole they just left with lawlessness & poverty.
