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.
That's what I was thinking... they've got everything they need except the fluid , the TATP. Letting them get on a flight might be a way of finding out if others on board - or on their next flight if there was to be one- were going to meet them onboard with the fluid, say, in contact lens solution bottles or souvenir snowglobes, etc. If the airports are monitoring by volume the terrorists might need to meet up with a few others to get enough explosive on board.

YES !!!
Maybe they wouldn’t need explosives at all if they’ve got the knives and a fake bomb. Given the number of knives & cutters they may have intended to meet up with another conspirator or two and take the plane over by going after the crew - one or two sudden, bloody kills to frighten passengers , or a threat to slice a stewardesses’ throat & this might make passengers freeze up long enough to wave the fake bomb in their faces to get everyone to remain seated for good, instead of rushing the hijackers to beating the snot out of them. Maybe the perps hoped it would give them time to work on the cockpit door.
They must be Christians, since we have a guy with the name of Hussein in the White House who we are told is Christian.
I am DISGUSTED this was allowed to happen! Thank God nothing happened. How are we supposed ro feel *safe* when these boobs allowed these terrorists to board the plane. I’m convinced that someone was taking this politically correct crap too far.
I haven’t flown in a long time and this isn’t renewing my faith in the *system*.
I’m just grateful that this didn’t happen during Obama’s vacation. After all his Christmas vacation was ruined by terrorists - it would have been really unfair if they ruined his summer vacation too.
Entirely reasonable assumptions. The question (among others I have) is: does the fact that their arrest and/or detention has been made public give their associates info? Or, is the govt lying about discovering everything and deciding it was no big deal, when maybe what happened it is we missed it all and it was only Amsterdam that caught them? I am not a knee-jerk ideologue but I do not trust Obama or his peeps.
Huckleberry Hound?
How about somebody build them their own mosque as a way of reaching out to ALL faiths and denominations? No? OK
Wait till they blow another plane up over an ocean. We’ll probably never know if it was a terrorist act. I am glad I don’t fly. I keep waiting for something horrible to happen with these idiots and traitors in charge- the other thing is people seem to assume what the govt is saying is the truth. I don’t believe them. I think they’re shaping all of the stories to make themselves appear as good as possible, and it is getting tougher and tougher to do so.
And Obama wants to build them a mosque at ground zero..
If things could be even more ominous,
according to CNN, his luggage was flown
to DC to then go on to Dubai.
HE WASN’T ON THAT FLIGHT ... HIS CHECKED
BAGGAGE WENT ALONE WHILE HE WENT ON
ANOTHER FLT TO AMSTERDAM .. WHICH
SEPARATION IS A DEFINITE NO NO!!!!
Is Eric Holder running TSA, too ?? Ooops,
nope .. that would be Big Sis Napolitano.
Jeeeze ......
Ah, Janet “the system worked” Napolitano.
LEt’s pray there are enough competent patriots still working in the FBI/CIA to knocks these muzzie POS terrorists out.
Half of TSA screeners at the major cities are practioners of ROP.
One of the Iraqis, identified by Jayna Davis, who had involvement in the OKC Murrah Building bombing was found to be working at Boston Logan Airport, when Mohammed Atta boarded.
The enemy is within the gates.
Thank you for the pings Jet Jaguar and Rushmore Rocks.
Must have been coming back from the Glenn Beck rally of course.
Really. Al Qaeda has no understanding of diversity.
