F-16s Divert Flight, 12 Detained

Could be nothing. Could be something. Reuters:

Dutch police confirmed the arrests of 12 passengers on a U.S. Northwest Airlines plane bound for India which was forced to turn back to Amsterdam's Schiphol airport on Wednesday.
"The 12 people that have been arrested were passengers," a spokesman said. "They will be interrogated in the coming hours by police investigators".

NY Times:

Twenty minutes into the flight, when the plane was over Germany, the pilot requested permission to return to Amsterdam and asked for a military escort. The Royal Netherlands Air Force sent two F-16 fighter jets to meet the plane.

Walid Phares notes:

All twelve were using their cell phones after the plane took off. You never see an entire group of passengers engage in such flagrantly illegal behavior.

Indeed. I will also add this by way of anecdote: I just banned an Islamist terror supporter two days ago. His IP resolves to Amsterdam.

UPDATE: Goldstein says he has a friend who is an Air Marshal. Might be interesting if he is able to comment on it.

Via Rob, this from AP:

An American woman aboard the Northwest Airlines jet says she saw officers handcuff and remove several men who looked to be South Asian.

South Asian generally indicates Indians or Pakistanis.

5 I'm glad to see that people are finally letting the natural and wholesome fear of fiery death overtake the unnatural and unwholesome fear of offending muslims.

6 sort of related, an incident reported by the bbc.

Two muslimes with excessive clothing and suspicious looks concern the rest of the passengers. The passengers refuse to fly with the 2 muslimes, so they are removed from the flight. Better still they were detained !

This is more like it UK !!

8 Local newspapers say it's possible one or more of the 12 removed were Indonesians!! hahaha!! Jakarta Post reports this: "Another passenger, who was not identified, told Dutch NOS television he sat next to one of the men and saw nothing suspicious. He described him as possibly being a Muslim from Indonesia, but did not say why he thought that" Maybe one of the Jihadis got lost on the way to Lebanon?

Soon we'll have to have Muslim only and Infidel only flights. I'm laughing now but it will probably happen
