<Terror-Alarm in USA: Flugzeug umgeleitet


Ein Passagierflugzeug der US-Fluggesellschaft Northwest Airlines ist am Mittwoch wegen sich verdächtig verhaltender Passagiere umgeleitet worden. Nach Angaben der Fluggesellschaft befand sich der Airbus A320 auf dem Weg von Memphis nach Las Vegas, als sich drei Männer in einer Toilette einschlossen.

Das Flugzeug sei daraufhin nach Fort Smith in Arkansas umgeleitet worden. Die Maschine wurde von Polizei und Feuerwehr umstellt, und während Passagiere und Besatzungsmitglieder ausstiegen, nahmen Experten Verhandlungen mit den drei Männern auf. Ein Sprecher von Gouverneur Mike Huckabee sagte, die drei schienen nahöstlicher Abstammung zu sein. Weitere Einzelheiten wurden nicht mitgeteilt.>

<Jet Diverted After Strange Behavior
Wed Sep 11, 2:58 PM ET
By JENNY MARBERRY, Associated Press Writer

FORT SMITH, Ark. (AP) - An airliner was diverted to Fort Smith on Wednesday because four passengers behaved strangely on the flight, including at least three who locked themselves in a restroom, possibly shaving their body hair.


Federal officials, speaking on a condition of anonymity, said the incident was not believed to be related to terrorism.

However, KSTP-TV in Minneapolis, where Northwest Airlines is based, quoted an unidentified source as saying the men were "shaving themselves clean." A source speaking on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press that people aboard the airplane gave investigators similar accounts.

After last year`s terror attacks, documents found in the luggage of attack leader Mohamed Atta gave what appeared to be instructions for the suicide hijackers: "The previous night, shave the extra hair from the body (and) pray."

The men appeared to be of Middle Eastern descent, said Jim Harris, a spokesman for Gov. Mike Huckabee.

Federal Aviation Administration ( news - web sites) spokesman Scott Brenner said some people were detained by the FBI ( news - web sites) at Fort Smith, but he didn`t know how many. The FBI office at Little Rock said the men were taken off the plane but their whereabouts were unknown.

The Bush administration had raised the nation`s terror alert warning to its second highest level Tuesday — code orange — signaling a "high risk" of attack on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Northwest Airlines Flight 979, an Airbus A320 traveling from Memphis, Tenn., to Las Vegas with 94 passengers and a crew of five, landed at Fort Smith late Wednesday morning, Northwest spokeswoman Mary Beth Schubert said.

No fighter jets were launched to accompany the aircraft, said Maj. Douglas Martin of the North American Aerospace Defense Command.

The Northwest pilots decided themselves to land at Fort Smith as a precaution, the airline said in a statement.

Schubert said she could not elaborate on what alarmed the crew and could not confirm information about the alleged shaving.

Police and firefighters surrounded the aircraft, sitting at the end of a runway, and other passengers were taken to a terminal.

No other air traffic in the area was affected, said Dave Steigman, a spokesman for the Transportation Security Agency.

Drama at Bush Airport may have been a false alarm
Associated Press
An American Airlines flight returned to Bush Intercontinental Airport this afternoon after a flight attendant mistakenly thought a passenger had a weapon that turned out to be a comb.

FBI officials initially reported the incident might have been an attempted hijacking.

"A flight attendant spotted what appears to be a weapon, but nothing as serious as we thought it was, possibly a comb," Houston Airport System spokesman Ernie DeSoto said. The employee "spotted something in the pocket of this gentleman. For safety sakes, they decided to come back."

Two men were questioned by law enforcement officials after the plane returned to Houston, but they appear not to know each other, DeSoto said.

FBI spokesman Bob Doguim said officials were interviewing witnesses to find out exactly what happened.

Flight 1702, with 50 passengers, departed Houston for Dallas at 12:28 p.m. but returned to Bush Intercontinental at 1:08 p.m. after reports of a disturbance on board. The flight`s ultimate destination was Nashville, Tenn.

"The captain returned to Houston due to a potential security incident," said American spokesman Todd Burke. "We did have two federal air marshals on board."

Neither Burke or Doguim had any more details about the disturbance on board. No injuries were reported.

"We should find comfort in the fact that there were federal air marshals on that flight and the quick response from personnel assigned out at the airport," Doguim said. "There`s no need to alarm anybody with misinformation. We have it under control."


Earlier today, another airliner was diverted to Fort Smith, Ark., because four passengers behaved strangely on the flight, including at least three who locked themselves in a restroom, possibly shaving their body hair.

No injuries were reported.

The Airbus took off from Memphis at 8:47 a.m. Central time and was scheduled to arrive at Las Vegas at 10:19 a.m. Pacific time.>
