International News Title: Passenger yelling about Allah tries unsuccessfully to bring down Lufthansa flight Sun, Dec 6, 2015, 11:19pm EST - US Markets are closed Man subdued on Lufthansa flight after tampering with door Berlin (AFP) - Lufthansa crew and passengers overpowered a man who tampered with a cabin door on a Frankfurt-to-Belgrade flight on Sunday, the German carrier said, insisting the safety of the plane had not been threatened. "A passenger got up and tried to do something with the door, but was stopped by crew members and other passengers," said airline spokesman Andreas Bartels. "The passenger was then restrained for the remainder of the flight in his seat and handed over to the authorities in Belgrade," he said. "It was a normal door, which of course cannot be opened in-flight... it was not the cockpit door," he said, denying an earlier report on Serbian television. "The safety of the flight was not jeopardised and the flight landed safely in Belgrade". Bartels declined to provide details of the passenger's identity or nationality, or what the man said during the incident. Serbia's state-run RTS TV reported that police had arrested a Jordanian man after he tried to force his way into the cockpit of the Lufthansa flight. It said the man suddenly got up during the flight, banged on the cockpit door and demanded to be allowed to enter, threatening to open one of the Airbus A319's external doors while it was flying over Austria. The man, who the Serbian press said had a US passport, had shouted that he wished to join Allah along with all the passengers, RTS said. Flight crew and members of a Serbian handball team overpowered him and kept him subdued until the flight landed in Belgrade where he was arrested, the report said. The head of the handball team's club, Milan Djukic, who was on the flight, said the man had seemed "nervous" before boarding the plane.

I am still angry at the West for bombing the Serbs on behalf Muslims and Neo- Nazi Croats. Fucking stupid westerners.
#2. To: Pericles (#1) I am still angry at the West for bombing the Serbs on behalf Muslims and Neo- Nazi Croats. Fucking stupid westerners. You have to wonder how many people still recall that extremely shameful episode. Even at the time, the libmedia ran cover for the Xlinton bombing campaign and deployed their "genocide" meme to justify any war crimes committed by the West.
#3. To: Pericles (#1) I'm going to have to agree with you on that.
#4. To: Pericles (#1) I am still angry at the West for bombing the Serbs on behalf Muslims and Neo- Nazi Croats. Fucking stupid westerners You're not the only one. This westerner would like to see the ones responsible publically hung.
#5. To: Pericles (#1) I'm not happy about it either. Doesn't justify attacking a civilian jetliner, though.
#6. To: redleghunter, Pericles (#3) " I'm going to have to agree with you on that. " I will as well. Everyone should thank Billy Bob and his supporters, assholes all !! Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists. “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.” - George S. Patton #7. To: Vicomte13 (#5) I'm not happy about it either. Doesn't justify attacking a civilian jetliner, though. The Serbs saved the airliner from a Jordanian Muslim terrorist with an American passport.
