DETROIT - A second Nigerian man was been taken into custody aboard a jetliner in Detroit after locking himself in the airliner's bathroom, The Associated Press reported.

A law enforcement official told the AP that the incident took place aboard the same Northwest flight that was attacked on Christmas Day. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the incident was ongoing.

here it is, new one.

new on cnn:

TODAYS 12.27 flight NW 253 Detroit called ahead and asked for emergency assistance upon landing; all passengers and crew thought to be off; one or more verbally disruptive passengers thought to be problem.

CNN: passenger up and down, spent lots of time in bathroom, thought to be suspicious... all monitored by gov’t off’ls in DC... standard post 9/11 procedures get on emergency interagency call... FAA keeps an open phone line 24/7 and all agencies can “come up on the net instantly” for a coordinated response.

not seeing posted to fr yet?

iow, from first sounds, doing pretty much what the flying imams did, but THEY got paid... ??

2 Nigerians locked in bathrooms?

[the invisib1e hand]

they blow themselves up. The lock themselves in bathrooms. Gad, but these are a fearsome and cunning lot.

that’s part of the suspicious behaviour noted by crew — noted movements up and down, VERY much like previous disruptive behavior that was allowed on other flights, but NOW (finally), w/Christmas day event, it will be taken seriously as it should have been all along.

Must be the well dressed man Debbie Schlussel mentioned on her blog. I never bought the official account that Abdulmuttalab acted alone. I guess we'll know soon who bought him the plane ticket and accompanied him without a passport through Amsterdam.

passengers should have arrived 12:30; they were delayed; others saw flashing lights at the plane, including media there at Detroit airport — so slowly became obvious.

CNN saying no this isn’t taped images from Christmas day which is what I thought I was seeing at first, but a NEW evolving situation.

this time crew sent msg that needed ground backup for unruly verbally abusive passenger.

There was a report the other day from a passenger that he saw a second man being led away in handcuffs.

Just keeps getting better and better...

Has the President said anything about this yet, or is he waiting for the right opportunity and network to apologize for our heavy handedness, and praise for the efforts of the DHS and TSA for stopping this attack???

I say this because of the high confidence in the duality of liberal administrations of praising and demonstrative commentary, with hypocracy becoming the icing on the cake...

FOIXNEWS now on it, locked in br for over an hour.

“Nigerian taken into custody after locking himself in plane’s bathroom.”

Is it terrorism or spicy tacos?

[cripplecreek]

Guess its time to remove the door from the bathrooms.

[cyn]

can we get headline amended to show that this is a new evolving situation, not from 12/25? it’s confusing, and important to show this as new.

AQ playing some sort of game now, must be decoying.

Isn't the diverse global village wonderful! I didn't vote for any of this crap. Nigeria to Amsterdam to Detroit- just think about the stupidity of that for a moment.

The worst part is that our government sees no reason to be suspicious.
