There was an article on FR a few weeks ago about a plane that was scheduled to take off from Dallas/Fort-Worth that had four Arabs on board. The take-off was delayed for a few minutes for normal delay reasons, but it was enough to keep it grounded (It was scheduled for a 9ish EST take-off.) The article said that the Arabs quickly left the plane and were never found.

>>>The article said that the Arabs quickly left the plane and were never found. <<<

The coverage of this incident that I read several months ago (if it was the same incident) said that when it was announced that the flight was cancelled, the four Arabs at first refused to leave and demanded that the plane take off. After a vehement argument where the Arabs argued the importance of their "mission" (my word) with I think the pilot and flight attendents, they seemed to have a sudden change of heart and literally ran off the plane and disappeared into the airport crowd.

But the more I think about it, I seem to remember that that report was about another flight from Boston's Logan - where 3 of the 4 hijacked planes originated. This Dallas report may be a totally seperate incident.

Anyone out there remember??

Was that the same flight that was rumored to have the CDC headquarters as their target?

Weren't two of them caught on a train or bus in mid-Texas a week or two later?
