'BOXCUTTER' MAN
IN AIRLINE BUST


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



April 2, 2002 -- MIAMI - An Egyptian man who was deported earlier this year was arrested on immigration charges after he arrived in Miami on a flight from Spain, carrying boxcutters in his briefcase, authorities said.
Aly Sabra Galal Abdell, 29, was arrested Friday night as he arrived at Miami International Airport on Iberia Airlines Flight 6123 from Spain, said Patricia Mancha, a spokeswoman for the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

The man was stopped by inspectors after they ran a check on his name and found he had been deported in January by a New York immigration judge. He had arrived in the country just before the Sept. 11 attacks.

A search of the suspect's briefcase, which he carried aboard the plane, turned up the boxcutters, officials said. Federal officials have banned passengers from carrying all small blades.

"We're in the process of reviewing the matter for criminal charges," said Aloyma Sanchez, spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney in Miami.

He is being held on immigration violations.

An Iberia supervisor at the airport said Flight 6123 landed in Miami without incident Friday.
