Federal air marshals subdued a man who authorities say attempted to "light his shoes on fire" on a United flight from Washington Reagan to Denver Wednesday night, federal law enforcement officials told ABC News.

The suspect was identified by authorities as a diplomat in the Qatar embassy in Washington, Mohammed al Modadi. The FBI said the man had full diplomat immunity as the 3rd secretary and vice-consul.

well its a little early and pretty fluid to tell what’s going on
You're right. But but... obama said if we'd just reach out to these people this kind of {expletive} would stop. Ha!
I would say this is just more proof (as if we needed it) of obama's naivety and ill-preparedness for the job. But after this long, and the dozens of really, really bad/stupid decisions... I don't buy it any more. No-one could be this un-prepared, and no-one could be this slow of a learner. obama may have a room-temperature IQ, but even someone that slow would've learned by now.
I no longer believe obama is making these bone-headed moves out of stupidity or bad advice. I believe he is intentionally making bad calls in order to further damage the United States. I believe his agenda is to weaken us so that we can no-longer act unilaterally on the world stage. Domestically, he wants a high percentage of people unemployed and/or otherwise dependent upon a massive federal government. In short, this is all tied into his obvious socialist agenda.
He is getting ever more bold and overt in his actions. Don't listen to his words, any time his lips are moving, he's lying. Take note of his actions, by them his true motives are revealed.
According to what I can find, diplomatic immunity does not exempt you from security screening. However, customs or TSA cannot open your luggage without permission.
Apparently, TSA can still refuse to let someone with diplomatic immunity into the secured area, if they have reason to be concerned about the X-ray scan.
Now reporting no explosive, he was in the Lav trying to smoke a cigarette, air marshals checked on the smell or smoke and the idiot would not open the Lav door and JOKED that he was trying to light his SHOE.
So was this how he got around having his shoes inspected?
My family and I feel so safe now that nobama and his minions are protecting us. He is a genius with his security focus and his foreign policy astuteness. (Infinite SARC)
NBC News: Name of suspect in Denver is Qatar citizen Mohammed Al Modadi.

“.stop this crap or Mecca goes...”
Yeah, like torturing Christianity’s leader to death stopped that movement in its tracks.
Once the crater cools, they’ll still do hajj and circle the crater rim while chanting.
The special rock is not a meteorite, but it is the fused glass of a meteor strike. The center of the crater would be like Trinitite, but more of it, and they’d revere pieces of it for centuries as the continue to plot our demise.
CNN said he was in custody an half hour ago.
It’s a well known phenomenon that witnesses will incorrectly report that a plane was on fire before it crashed.
52%? Not buying it. All explanations were consistent with a shoe bomb detonated over a wing. Loss of the wing caused side forces which sheered the tail. IMHO...
I'm sure that Eric "The Red Commie Bastard" Holder will get right on this.
I have here gentlemen, a note excusing Mr. Allah Fubar's actions of April 7th, 2010. I'm afraid we have to let him go.
What a knee slapper that one is, this guy should be doing stand-up somewhere.
They should shoot him for pure stupidity
Have they read him his Miranda rights yet?
Hard to say, if their government really wanted to play hardball, they could demand his return. However, because this would regard his actions as having legal sanction by the Qatari government, that he attempted to engage in an act of war against the US as an agent of that government, I suppose it could basically mean we are at war.
What WILL happen, if this pans out like it’s looking like, he’s going be stripped of his DI, the Qatari government is going not make a peep about his citizenship or rights, apologize profusely, and try and be as helpful as possible to the inevitable investigation.
Thats interesting
..at least he didn’t interrupt an Obama vacation....</sarc>
After the Pope, the blame naturally rests solely on George Bush.
I dont think he can be prosecuted, but I believe he can be deported in short order.
