ABC: Men arrested at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport were preparing terrorist attack

Monday, August 30th, 2010 at 9:23 pm | Monica Lawrence | By Monica Lawrence

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.

Oh ponygirl, I get those too but don’t have that level of ‘hits.’
So tell me what you are saying and please fill us in.

The holiday weekend of travel is of course a perfect time for trouble with the heavy traveling taxing everyone and the system to the max.

were the boxcutters in checked bags? I once had a small pocket knife confiscated because I forgot it was in my purse, so I question whether they really got thru security with box cutters.

Islam is the mother of terrorism. Islam is about religious war, religious dominance, no respect for individual or religious rights, tyranny and brutal violence. Islam does not recognize our Constitution, separation of “church” and state, or the rule of secular law. Mosques and sharia courts should be outlawed, since they promote violence and are subversive.

Why are we allowing these people in our country in the first place?

In order to provide leadership and some comfort for the thousands of Hamas operatives that the administration is spending millions of dollars to import into the USA.

Murisi seems to be Yemeni in origen. I think that it is not very common. I don’t have an Arabian Peninsula gazetteer at hand or I could check if it is derived from a Yemen placename.

Me, too...very disturbing dreams of vague disasters lately.

Could be from watching the Weather Channel just before bedtime!

This makes going through airport security entirely worthwhile.

I know, and I have posted this now that the details have become clearer. The first stories were very confused.

The reason they were detected was that one of them checked his luggage through but then did not board the flight on which it was checked, and this apparently triggers a response, which in turn resulted in his checked baggage being searched.

It was definitely a dry run, no matter what the FBI says. The Muslims wanted to see how good our systems were, and they wanted to do so without doing anything that could get them arrested. Hence no explosives or anything “dirty.”

I guess they found out that our systems are pretty good. So they’ll try something else next time.

"Airport security screeners in Birmingham, Alabama first stopped al Soofi and referred him to additional screening because of what officials said was his "bulky clothing." In addition, officials said, al Soofi was found to be carrying $7,000 in cash and a check of his luggage found a cell phone taped to a Pepto-Bismol bottle, three cell phones taped together, several watches taped together, a box cutter and three large knives. Officials said there was no indication of explosives and he and his luggage were cleared for the flight from Birmingham to Chicago O'Hare."

Political Correctness Gone MAD!!!

Guess all our efforts at being “nice” aren't good enough. Let's see. We already tried making it NASA’s main mission, we're building them mosques all over the world, we're sending Imam Rauf on world tours, and we're buying thousands of Rauf’s lying, pro-Islam books (but “not” supporting Islam, mind you). How ‘bout we try not so nice, for once?
