The six passengers are still being interrogated and officials are going through their luggage piece by piece.
I'm typing with one hand and clicking the remote with the other.
DFL Don Shelby just stressed that none of the suspects have been arrested. As he cut the story short.
Typical.....
Per KARE 11 News (Minneapolis), the TSA is not involved in questioning the Middle Eastern appearing men.
Local and Airport police are interrogating and possibly the FBI is involved.
Reporter also mentioned that the plane never left the gate. Flight attendants spotted suspicious activity.
Per channel 5 here:
Basically these 6 guys were speaking Arabic amongst themselves on the jetway towards the plane. A woman who speaks the language heard some of it and was concerned enough to notify the flight attendant via a note.
Crew asked for them to leave.
Question on their ID's.
Said they were attending religious conference.
All they have for now.
