Apparently a 43-year-old man was just recently arrested and being charged with saying that he wants to kill all the Jews. This man, who was on a Detroit-bound plane, yelled out that he wants to kill all the Jews and was arrested for disorderly conduct. However, authorities did note that the incident did not appear to be terrorism-related.
Mansor Mohammad Asad, was arrested on Wednesday night after a taxiing Northwest Airlines flight returned to a gate at Miami International Airport. After a short confrontation with officers, Asad was charged with threats against a public servant, disorderly conduct, and resisting an officer without violence.
Judy Orihuela, an FBI spokeswoman, said that there were no indications the incident was connected to terrorism. The bureau was initially brought in to look into the disturbance but is no longer involved in the investigation at this time. It will be treated as a local matter.
This disturbance came the same day as military jets escorted a commercial jetliner bound for Hawaii back to Portland because of a disruptive passenger. The FBI said that there was no known terrorism link in that case. The passenger was identified as a 56-year-old man from Salem.
Asad’s Son, who is 27, said that his father does suffer from bipolar disorder and was in and out of mental institutions when he was younger. He did note that his dad is far from a terrorist. He just lost his temper. There is no excuse for it, but someone had to have pushed his button.
