Muslim screaming "Allahu akbar" on Continental flight tried killing people with his car the day before.
Muslim screaming "Allahu akbar" on Continental flight tried killing people with his car the day before.(JW).--The man who repeatedly yelled “Allah is great” as he was removed yesterday from a plane that was forced to make an emergency landing due to his unruly behavior is a 19-year-old Saudi Arabian who was arrested Sunday night after he led Oregon police on a drunken car chase that saw him ram two cop cars and attempt to run over pedestrians, The Smoking Gun has learned. According to investigators, Yazeed Mohammed Abunayyan was smoking an electronic cigarette on a Continental Airlines flight traveling from Portland to Houston. When a flight attendant directed Abunayyan to stop smoking (or relinquish the device), he refused and began “yelling profanities and swinging his fist at the flight attendant,” according to an indictment filed this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Portland.Abunayyan, also hit or attempted to hit other passengers and was “speaking or singing about Usama bin Laden and his hatred of women,” the indictment charges. Abunayyan, who reportedly has been in the U.S. visiting relatives, was charged with a felony count of interfering with flight crew members.Male passengers on the Boeing 737 helped a flight attendant subdue Abunayyan, who was removed from the plane in plastic handcuffs and turned over to FBI agents. The Continental flight returned to Portland 20 minutes after departure.Abunayyan, who is scheduled to appear later this afternoon before a federal magistrate, was arrested Sunday evening by cops after a wild car chase in Medford, an Oregon city 275 miles south of Portland.Police reported that the intoxicated teenager led them on a 20-minute chase that ended after his Ford sedan got stuck on a dirt embankment. During the chase, Abunayyan was spotted driving in circles, attempting to run over pedestrians, and driving the wrong way on a street. He also rammed two patrol cars."It was like ‘Grand Theft Auto',” a witness told a local newspaper.Abunayyan was booked late Sunday into the Jackson County jail on a variety of charges, including driving under the influence of intoxicants, assault on a police officer, criminal mischief, hit and run, and reckless endangerment.He was freed from custody Monday around 6 PM after posting $65,000 bond. Which allowed him, a day later, to board Flight 1118, albeit briefly. A man who was just freed on a $65,000 bond should not have been allowed to board any flight.More: Saudi teen pleads not guilty to disrupting US flight, support for Bin Laden.(BM).A lawyer for 19-year-old Yazeed Mohammed A. Abunayyan told a judge his client suffers from “unspecified mental illness” that requires care at the Multnomah County Detention Center.US Magistrate Court Judge Janice Stewart ordered Abunayyan held in jail as a flight risk and set a trial date of April 24, saying she believes Abunayyan’s mental health issues will be dealt with “in due course.”According to court records, an attendant aboard a Continental Airlines flight to Houston on Tuesday asked Abunayyan to stop smoking an electronic cigarette, but he refused. He’s also accused of yelling profanities and throwing punches at the flight attendant and several passengers. Authorities say Abunayyan also was “singing or speaking about” Osama bin Laden and his hatred of women.“When they asked him to stop the cigarette … he just went crazy, I couldn’t stop him,” Abunayyan’s cousin Fahad Alsubaie told the Medford Mail Tribune.Alsubaie told the paper that Abunayyan suffers from schizophrenia and hadn’t taken his medication for about three weeks.Hmmmmm.....Surely there are a lot of 'mentally ill' Admirers of Osama Bin Laden around, is this contagious?If so how does it spread?Read the full story here.
