9:40 PM: An unidentified male reportedly flying on a domestic flight from Washington, DC to Denver attempted to ignite some type of explosive smuggled aboard. Warnings have been issued to all domestic airlines. This incident was reported to this agency by an air traffic controller who was purportedly involved in the incident. We are attempting to secure more detailed information at this time. BREAKING – More details to follow.
Update 1: 10:38 PM: The Northeast Intelligence Network has confirmed that Mohammed al MODADI, a diplomat from Qatar stationed at the Washington, DC embassy, attempted to ignite explosives smuggled inside his shoe. According to a FAA source and further confirmed through a source within the FBI, al MODADI has diplomatic immunity…
Update 11:00 PM ET: “There is no misunderstanding,” according to a Federal Air Marshal speaking to Douglas J. Hagmann, Director of the Northeast Intelligence Network on the strict condition of anonymity. This was a clear incident of attempted terrorism, according to this source, who referenced news reports surfacing that al Modadi was involved in a “misunderstanding.” Mohammed al MODADI, 3rd Secretary and Vice-Consul at the Qatari Embassy in Washington, was subdued by at least one Federal Air Marshal aboard United Airlines flight 663 Wednesday night. The aircraft was carrying 157 passengers and 6 crew members, and landed in Denver at about 7:00 PM local time.
Update 11:55 PM ET: According to a FBI source, the Qatari diplomat who reportedly attempted to ignite something he brought aboard Flight 663 during its last hour of flight is “taunting” investigators by demanding his release, citing diplomatic immunity. The FBI source in Denver states that al MODADI is demanding intervention by the Qatari embassy and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. “He is smug and uncooperative,” states this FBI source.

What’s “breaking” about this article?
ObaMo will have his lickspittle Eric Holder intervene to save this puke’s sorry ass.
maybe the title...?
?This is so yesterday...
They’ve been saying that it was a misunderstanding, that he was just caught smoking. But now these guys say that he was indeed trying to light off some kind of explosive.
Weird.
I think it was a bump. A trial run.
This is ultimately coming from a site that threatened to Sue FR.(I am not talking about Canadian Free Press)

“Enough with Obama! How was the possible terrorist?’
Still not clear who you’re referring too.
I don't care if he is diplomat, what he did was an act of war!

Whut Dat you say?
And I remember reports from passengers that another arab passenger was filming the whole thing. Which makes me think it was a trial run too. Weird. You do trial runs for a reason, to analyze the security precautions so you can deal with them when the real thing is launched. Which means, they are going to do it. We may not know what happened to the airliner, just that it went down at sea.
ever feel like FR is full of Netiquette posting freaks?
just saying. ;-)
Airline analyst on local radio tonight felt it was a trial run.
That’s why I didn’t flag it as “Breaking News.” I just copied the title (and added the question in parentheses).
Ten airliners that disappear the same day is another matter. Or one airliner that blows up over a city (I still think that American Airlines #587 over Far Rockaway was Shoebomber #1).

Well, I can post CFR excerpts, so if you think this post is going to get us in trouble, notify the mods.
It was a bong not a bomb!
