(CNN)A mechanic for American Airlines was arrested Thursday and accused of trying to sabotage a commercial airliner shortly before it was set to take off from Miami International Airport for the Bahamas with 150 people on board.

Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani has been charged with "willfully damaging, destroying, disabling, or wrecking an aircraft, and attempting to do so," according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court. Alani allegedly tried to damage or disable the aircraft's air data module (ADM) system, which reports aircraft speed, pitch and other critical data, on July 17.

Just another "lone wolf" at work. And this guy was trying to be the hero, sort of like the firefighter who sets fires to rush in to put them out. But don't worry and don't be quick to judge the religion of peace. Mass condemnation is reserved for innocent gun owners, Christians,Southerners and other white American men. All others exempted.

Truth. May as well start naming hurricanes after such people so that they'll be hated more. Still waiting on that 'Hurricane Abdul' name.

How much you want to bet this one goes down in the “domestic terrorist” column in the terrorism stats?

Well, who amongst us hasn’t made mistakes in the workplace? I, for instance, occasionally find my company’s pens in my suit pockets. And there’s the personal calls I take on company time...

Simply standing up for the rights of the working man against the corporate oppressor. Bravo, Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani! America was built by honest, hard-working folks like you.

I wonder when the HR Managers in America will get the memo stating that people named thusly should NOT be considered for jobs that could endanger American citizens in any way, shape or form.

I’m mean that way, I guess. *SHRUG*

The number of them employed in IT positions in FedGov is shocking.

Result of JTTF investigating, according to articles, tells me all I need to know

Alani allegedly explained that he tampered with the aircraft so he could get overtime working on the plane.

Well, look no further. He just wanted a wee bit of OT.

[bgill]

Bet he isn’t so alone.

Fox just had this story on and only identified him as an AA mechanic, no name given. Now we know why.

At Detroit airport many baggage handlers are Muslim, same with TSA.

What could possibly go wrong? smh.

[ladyjane]

Every airport is infested with them.

[Reno89519]

Terrorism pure and simple. Why is it taking so long for the government to admit the arrest of this terrorist? This should’ve been reported immediately. Now it’s buried in the news. This is the reason why no Islamic cult member should not be working anywhere in a potentially sensitive position.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Yes. Where’s the outrage from the media Dims and “Muslim community”?

I mean, this was fiveX greater than El Paso.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Cmon don’t be ridiculous judgmental and racist

This was clearly an alleged incident of workplace violence

[cuban leaf]

Now I have guilt. :(

:D

[A_Former_Democrat]

Maybe they couldn’t pronounce his full ten names
