The FBI is investigating as an "act of terrorism" a knife attack on a Michigan airport police officer Wednesday by a man yelling "Allahu Akbar."
The stabbing at Bishop International Airport, in the city of Flint, comes amid a wave of jihadist-inspired attacks in Europe, most recently a foiled bomb assault at a train station in Belgium.
US officials identified the suspected assailant, who is in custody and cooperating with investigators, as a 49-year-old Canadian resident from Quebec named Amor Ftouhi.
"We're investigating this incident today as an act of terrorism," FBI special agent David Gelios told a news conference, detailing Ftouhi's actions on Wednesday morning based on security camera footage.
Ftouhi was seen lingering with luggage around the airport's non-secured public areas, including at a second-floor restaurant and a bathroom, before pulling out a 12-inch serrated-blade knife, yelling "Allahu Akbar" -- "God is greatest" in Arabic -- and stabbing an officer in the neck, police said.

Meaning case closed. That was probably the last Muslim immigrant we need to worry about.
...but the guy with Hodgkinson Disease wasn’t??

Gee, I wonder what was their first clue? Don't these idiots in the FBI, usually act as the first line of defense for the terrorists? /S
What gave you the first clue, Sherlock?
Ya think???
Talkshow host Phil Valentine said he had it on ‘good authority’ that the perp is a Syrian refugee living in Canada. Some how the perp had a Canadian passport.
Imagine that! Did Comey not show up from the Clinton compound to say the attacker had ‘no intent’?
Joint Tunisian/Canadian citizenship actually.
Last night on the snuz I heard the story that he was charged with the crime of "attacking an airport security officer, which is a felony." A crime that is punishable with up to a 20 (or maybe 30) year sentence!
I thought it should be a charge of attempted murder against a federal officer in the commission of an act of terrorism against the United States, a capital crime punishable by death!
String his sorry a$$ up.
Could be a play on words but “stabbed in the neck” is BS, I have on good authority he “slit his throat”
A month from now when they come out with the conclusion of their "investigation" they'll call it a lone-wolf isolated non-terror incident.
That’s also what I heard or read but all of my “official sources” state either “stabbed in the neck” or “chest.”
The translation is wrong... it’s, “Allah is greater.”
Always be aware of your surroundings and carry a weapon.
