‘Bin Laden’ airline man arrested at airport

A MAN from Bury was overpowered by terrified passengers on a flight from Dubai.

The 37-year-old was heard to shout Bin Laden' and white scum' while in a drunken rage on a jet heading for Manchester last Thursday.

The pilot of the Emirates Boeing 777 was forced to radio Manchester Airport and ask police to meet the flight when it landed.

One passenger said: "The man had his top off and kept shouting the words 'Allah', 'Bin Laden' and 'white scum'. Then I heard him shout, I'm not a terrorist, I'm not a terrorist'. He just wouldn't shut up. He was going on and on. It was frightening. People were trying to calm him down."

A struggle broke out between the man and several passengers, and he was eventually overpowered. He was later arrested by police on suspicion of assault, endangering an aircraft and being drunk on board a plane. He has been bailed until May pending further investigations.

A spokesman for Emirates said: "We can confirm there was a disturbance involving some passengers before flight EK017 arrived at Manchester Airport.

"As a result, police were called to the aircraft at the crew's request and the matter is now being dealt with by them.

"The safety of the aircraft was at no time compromised. However, Emirates takes such incidents very seriously and we will not tolerate disruptive passengers on board our aircraft."

I hope this man is locked up for a very long time preferably in a jail in Dubai. He is a disgrace and I am utterly appauled that this man is allowed back into our community the courts should have kept him for public safety. Drunk or not it sounds like he has some sympathies for terrorists and his racist comments should also be used against him in the courts as I for one am extremely offended by this. What phycological damage has he done to the passengers and staff on this plane. Let's hope that the courts won't let them down and he gets his just deserts!

I completely agree with the lady above the man should be locked up and throw away the key. If it had been a white man saying racist comments about blacks he would be in serious trouble. One rule for one and one for the other is a joke. This man should be banned from flights to and from England.

The word Racist was first used in print in the early 1930's in Germany by Magnus Hershfeld,
a Jewish, homosexual, communist. The stated purpose of the word was to intimidate westerners (Whites)
out of the political process. This removing of Whites from the political debate was to accomodate the plans of Antonio Gramsci,
an Italian communist leader, who had devised the plan of destroying the west by multiculturism and diversity.
There is no such thing as a racist. The word racist is nothing more than a Marxist perjorative.

nothing will come of this because if it does it will be seen as the authorities targeting a minority & he will claim the police were racist, etc. & will get away scot-free, its a joke as if a black man says a white man racially abused him, everyone is in uproar, however if a black man says something about a white man, nobody bats an eyelid & thats the way this country is these days, the minority are no longer a minority & have the upper hand on good, hard working white people, all they have to do is say they have been racially abused & they will get away
