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.
re: “ sabotaging a flights navigation system “
No, he stuffed something into a PITOT TUBE, that’s part of flight instrumentation ... I might say CRITICAL FLIGHT INSTRUMENTATION since it has to do with AIR SPEED indication.
Perhaps they should consider background checks PRE-HIRE.
EXACTLY!!! In fact our guys serving in the ME sometimes refer their translators or intel helpers for a specialized visa. Perhaps this is a great conduit to infiltrate and then kill Americans.
Trump needs to run a lice comb through all of this
Just another show of the peaceful side of Islam.
My sister flew AA a few days ago and noticed that the AA gates were lousy with Muslim employees, complete with females in the head gear getup. When she got off the plane in Philly she thought she’d landed in Shitholistan. How could our flights’ safety NOT be compromised when this is the state of affairs?
Color me shocked.
Inspector Clouseau will be all over this story. /sarc
Agree. But the legal industry would fry the airline for discrimination, 14th Amendment abuse and probably mail fraud or whatever.
We’re screwed. Terrorist have the right to their terror-religion while the rest of us do not have the right to life.
That doesn’t make it terrorism... Maybe he was just lonely.
I read that the plane was on the runway when the pilots noticed the problem.
Who knows if *anything* we read in the media is true.
How could it happen? Because you cant profile.
He was just getting his life together.
'Tard
That was a given. Same thing with the drivers of the tanker trucks that refuel the airliners. Some day they will get the word and each airplane that takes off will have a little something extra in it.
I’ll drive, thank you.
but, but. all muzlims aren’t terrorists!
An commercial jet airplane mechanic? And he actually accomplished sabotage of an airplane without it being detected?
How many more are out there?
Quietly doing their thing until one day...
Remember that quiet September day back in 2001?
TSA/air travel is a politically correct time-bomb waiting to go off.
From reading their book, we know that it is the duty of all muslims to convert or kill the infidel. And a muslim owes allegiance to allah. Allah's instructions to his followers are in the quan.
