WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Qatari diplomat who caused a bomb scare after sneaking a smoke in an airplane bathroom was traveling for a consular visit to see an imprisoned al-Qaida agent.

A State Department official and another person close to the matter say Mohammed Al-Madadi was going to meet Ali Al-Marri for an official visit.

Consular officials frequently visit foreigners held in the United States to make sure they are being treated well.

What??!!! And he was ‘joking’ about lighting a shoe on the airplane?

The State Dept. should demand he be recalled, but of course the wimps will do no such thing.

This guy oughta be booted from this country permanently.

Oh and I noticed that in a statement from the Quatar embassy, there was not a single mention of an apology for causing the incident. So maybe the whole diplomatic mission should be sent packing.

I have a weird feeling about this story. I think there is more too it, we will never know by the MSM. Something smells fishy.

Re post 5. I don’t think that is going to happen. You better find a new HQ for Central Command if you do that.

And there is some big nuclear meeting scheduled for DC next Monday and Tuesday with heads of state from 47 countries in town. Definitely has me spooked. I plan on working from home those days.

“He is lucky an air Marshall was there to protect his arse.”

I am not even sure the Marshall was there by accident...who knows what these assholes are up to doing? Could have been a setup to make Americans look “bloodthirsty” and “violent” towards the “Religion of Peace”...why wasn’t this asshoole taken off the plane in chains and put in jail? Forget the diplomatic immunity horescrap...this is just another trial balloon in my not so humble opinion...Hahahahah....Achmed, how much crap will the Americans eat?
