AMSTERDAM (BNO NEWS) -- Two men were arrested aboard a United Airlines flight after landing at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport on Monday, ABC News reported.
The network, citing Dutch public prosecutor Ernst Koelman, said the men were arrested at the request of American authorities after the flight landed in Amsterdam. ABC said the men were subsequently charged with "preparation of a terrorist attack."
The two were allowed to board the flight at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago on Sunday night despite security concerns surrounding one of them, officials told ABC News, which identified the men as Ahmed Mohamed Nasser al Soofi, of Detroit, MI, and Hezam al Murisi.

“The two were allowed to board the flight at O’Hare International Airport”.
Someone needs to go to prison for allowing this!
Amish world travelers.
That is odd, they don’t look Amish.
I would be madder than hell if I or anyone from my family was on that flight.
Did somebody photoshop the moustache off of the second guy? Or did he recently shave it off to not appear as a muzzie?
Why did we let them go to Holland if they were preparing an attack? (Dutch prisons must have much better living conditions, and Obama didn’t want them to suffer?)
Of course they were.....

Our airport security seems to suck--big time.
Ahmed Mohamed Nasser al Soofi and Hezem al Murisi. Do I even have to say it?
Preparing? On a transatlantic flight with no foot-room or head-space? Just how were they supposed to prepare anything when they could hardly deploy their tray-tables because they were all pressed up against the seats in front of them? Maybe they had explosives in their shoes or their underwear but they couldn’t reach the chemical fuses because their arms were pinned to their sides by the people scrunched up next to them.
They were probably in first class.
Government screeners at their finest.
Airport security screeners in Birmingham, Alabama first stopped al Soofi and referred him to additional screening because of what officials said was his "bulky clothing." In addition, officials said, al Soofi was found to be carrying $7,000 in cash and a check of his luggage found a cell phone taped to a Pepto-Bismol bottle, three cell phones taped together, several watches taped together, a box cutter and three large knives. Officials said there was no indication of explosives and he and his luggage were cleared for the flight from Birmingham to Chicago O'Hare.
Why the Hell do we even have a Homeland Security Dept? What a friggin' joke.
I never thought ABC News would be racist, but if they are reportunbg this, they must be.
I'll say it:
Typical ammonite names!
If they’d been whiter, they would have been stopped. Call CAIR, they’ve lost one of their turds.
They might have boarded the flight, but the individual seated next to them, or immediately behind them, was an air Marshall.
What the?

EVERYONE occasionally tapes their cell phones together...or to a Pepto Bismol bottle....RIGHT???? (SOMEONE should be fired over this....and this guy should NEVER have been allowed on the plane. I am so glad we do not HAVE to fly anywhere....just got back from a Mandatory flight (medical reasons) and if I had heard/read this BEFORE I left....I don't know....I would have had a HARD time flying.
