American Air Jet Diverted in 'Security Incident'

Sept. 11

- HOUSTON (Reuters) - An American Airlines jet bound for Dallas returned to Houston
Intercontinental Airport shortly after takeoff on Wednesday because of what an airlines
spokesman called "a security incident" on board.

An FBI spokesman told a Houston television station there may have been an attempted hijacking
on board.

"It appears to be an attempted hijacking, but I do not have that confirmed," FBI agent Robert
Doguim told KHOU-TV in Houston.

News reports said passengers reported seeing two men in the cabin with what appeared to be a
weapon, possibly a folding knife. The reports said the men were taken into custody.

American spokesman Gus Whitcomb told Reuters that two U.S. air marshals were on the flight, as
were four crew members and 50 passengers.
