MIAMI – A man who described himself as a Palestinian and said he wanted to “kill all the Jews” was hauled off a Detroit-bound Delta Air Lines flight in Miami and arrested, Reuters is reporting:
The plane was taxiing away from the terminal at Miami International Airport on Wednesday night when 43-year-old Mansor Mohammad Asad of Toledo, Ohio, began making loud anti-Semitic comments and chanting, apparently in Arabic, Miami-Dade police said in a statement.
“I’m Palestinian and I want (to) kill all Jews,” he said, according to witnesses.
The pilot returned the aircraft to the terminal and a Taser device was used to “neutralize” Asad after he charged an arresting officer, the police statement said.
We’re pleasantly surprised that that actually got him kicked off the plane. They probably worried that he’d snuck a bottle of soda on with him.
