Federal prosecutors on Wednesday claimed a former American Airlines mechanic accused of sabotaging a flights navigation system had ties to ISIS, according to ABC10.
Prosecutors in Miami said Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani admitted to sabotaging the airplane July 17 ahead of a scheduled flight from Miami to Nassau, Bahamas, but said it was out of frustration over stalled union contract talks.

NOT a surprise.
They want to do anything and everything to kill us.

I guess they couldn’t find any Americans to work for them as mechanics. They are forced to hire America-hating, ISIS terrorists.

Prosecutors said Alani had ISIS propaganda videos on his phone depicting graphic murders, and a co-worked allegedly told investigators he had once mentioned that his brother was a member of the terror group and had traveled to Iraq to visit him.
Alanis roommate, however, told investigators Alani visited Iraq because his brother had been kidnapped, not as part of a visit. Prosecutors said Alani, who was born in Iraq, has several relatives who live there and that it was not clear whether the two were referring to the same brother.

We are nuts to hire Muslims in critical airline jobs, including airport security. We do need to profile and believers in a terroristic blood cult should not be put in positions to kill us.

Now how could they ever suspect a guy with a name like that would ever have any thoughts of jihad?

Red flags all over the story. He should have been detected, and interviewed, and removed.

This can’t be. How many times was this guy groped by TSA and they never figured out he had ties to ISIS until after he tried to kill people?

Are they trying to say that he deliberately blocked the pitot pressure to some computer module? Was the plane on take-off roll when the pilots noticed the airspeed wasn’t rising or somehow before that?

I thought the narrative on this one is that it was all about a union dispute?

What?
Is this the first time one of these terrorists is going to be outed for what he is?
Other than 09/11, and some folks won’t even agree those folks were the true terrorists, we’ve gotten no recognition of the vile nature of many perps.

it’s my understanding the crew was doing the pre-flight checklist when they noticed the problem.

All muslims should be treated as if loaded.
