What our media didnt report about the woman on the U.S. Airways flight who claimed to have an implanted device in her stomach
The UK Daily Mail is reporting that passengers on the US Airways flight out of Paris had to wrestle the crazed woman to the floor after she claimed to have a bomb surgically implanted inside her. And why arent they releasing the name of the woman who immigrated to France from Cameroon where there is a significant Muslim population?
UK DAILY MAIL The terrifying incident forced the pilot of U.S. Airways flight 787, traveling from Paris to Charlotte, North Carolina, to divert and make an emergency landing. Fighter jets were scrambled to intercept the the troubled plane and guided it into land at a Maine airport, where passengers were evacuated and the woman arrested.
An FBI joint terrorism task force, accompanied by a bomb squad, local police and other security agencies then met the aircraft upon arrival, and FBI agents and members of a joint terrorism task force interviewed the passenger and others on the plane, FBI spokesman Greg Comcowich said.
At this time, there is no indication the plane or its passengers were ever in any actual danger. A US official told AFP that the suspect was unlikely to be part of a broader international terror plot linked to groups such as Al-Qaeda. (Isnt that what they always say?) But it served as a blunt reminder of the ongoing efforts by groups like Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) to eventually break through tight US security with a functional bomb. And it came after news emerged earlier this month of a foiled plot to blow up a US-bound airliner.
Maybe a trial run? Just sayin'
