It certainly appeared to have been a premeditated, pre-planned disruption of a routine flight, perhaps designed to test responses or as a larger plot to intimidate and thereby garner privileges or concessions. It’s not likely that the six despicable individuals involved all just happened to find each other as members of the same Arab soccer team, although they certainly do deserve each other’s company.
A Southwest Airlines flight from San Diego to Chicago was rerouted to Amarillo late Monday, with six passengers removed and subsequently arrested on charges of “interference with a flight crew and abetting.”
FBI special agent T. Scott Hendricks has filed an affidavit which detailed the misbehavior of the passengers, Khalid Yohana, 19; Wasim Imad Shaker, 23; Essa Solaqa, 20; Ghazwan Assad Shaba, 21; Jonathan Khalid Petras, 20; and Saiman Hermez, 19, noting their refusal to obey the instructions of flight attendants and their aggressive and abusive behavior towards both the flight crew and fellow passengers.
As reported in the Dallas Morning News:
One flight attendant said that during the emergency demonstration prior to takeoff, the six “were asked numerous times to put their seat backs and tray tables up, which is required for takeoff of the aircraft, to which they verbally responded ‘no.'”
They “complied” after the flight attendant warned them the airplane would return to the gate if they didn’t do so.
“Later, while the flight attendants were taking drink orders, the six passengers started talking loudly and using profanity,” Hendricks said in his affidavit. The flight attendant “asked them to quiet down and they responded, ‘We can be as loud as we want and do whatever the [expletive] we want on here. You can’t make us listen.'”
When the flight attendant “said they couldn’t do that, they lunged forward in their seats and said, ‘We can do whatever we want on here.'”
That flight attendant denied their request for alcohol. They “became aggressive by lunging forward” at the flight attendant, who “stated she felt threatened and that they were escalating their aggressive behavior.”
The passengers asked another flight attendant why the first flight attendant wouldn’t serve them alcohol. That flight attendant also declined to serve them.
“They accused the attendants of being racist” and called the second flight attendant a “pig” as she walked away. The passengers then told a third flight attendant “that they could do whatever they wanted to because they bought a ticket.”
The passengers “did not comply with anything they were asked to do and were repeatedly standing up and becoming increasing louder. Due to the increase in their non-compliant and unpredictable behavior,” one flight attendant “felt uncomfortable and saw that they were attempting to incite other passengers to join in their non-compliant behavior.”
A flight attendant asked the pilots to divert the aircraft.
According to the affidavit, a passenger across the aisle from the six passengers heard them call the flight attendant a racist and pig.
“She heard them tell each other to throw gang signs, and then saw them using their hands to gesture gang signs. After using the bathroom, one of the passengers leaned towards the female passengers and called her a [expletive], ‘ugly ass’ and ugly.’ He then gave her the middle finger gesture. The passenger began to cry and was shaking. She contacted the flight attendants and was moved to another seat.”
A flight attendant again asked the pilots to divert the aircraft, the FBI agent stated. “The flight crew determined a level one threat existed and instituted an emergency lockdown. The pilots diverted the aircraft for the safety of the flight crew and passengers.” The airplane landed at the Amarillo airport at about 10:45 p.m.
The flight, originally scheduled to arrive at Chicago Midway at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, finally arrived there at 3:23 a.m.

Why do we allow these sub-humans into our country?
Why Hussein?
probing:
Very purposeful behavior.
Charge them with terrorism under the Patriot Act and send their asses to Gitmo.
Are these some of their “relatives?”

Why, just why do we have any of this trash living within our borders?
That’s what I was wondering. It seems that passengers have thwarted these kinds of incidents in the past.
Islamic terrorists can and do drink alcohol.
What they mean by “haram” is we shouldn’t be served alcohol. But they can do whatever they want.
They’re free to flout Sharia when they damn well please.
“apparently more of the same kind of enemy trash Obama is importing into USA by the thousands”

8 days, but good point.
Where are the air marshals to pull there guns and shot these clowns and finish the flight..?
hehe oops yes it is just the 3rd , thanks
Where were the American Men? Why weren’t they doing some a** kicking? “ -————
Look where this flight originated. I thought the same thing, until I saw the transgender state from which they boarded.
I like the odds.
Correction...plane had 117 passengers and five attendants. Odds are still pretty good.
Likely these are Assyrian Christians.
