Police: Man saying 'I want to kill Jews' removed from Miami flight By The Associated Press An airline passenger in Miami proclaimed "I want to kill all the Jews before police forced him off a Detroit-bound plane," authorities said Thursday. Mansor Mohammad Asad, 43, of Ohio, was arrested Wednesday night, according to a police department statement. Asad was charged with threats against a public servant, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer without violence. FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said there were no indications the disturbance was related to terrorism. The bureau was initially brought in to look into the incident but is no longer involved in the investigation. She said the FBI is treating the disruption as a matter for local authorities. Advertisement The disturbance forced a taxiing Northwest Airlines flight to turn around at Miami International Airport, according to a news release. Witnesses told investigators who boarded the plane that Asad was loud, disruptive and claimed to be Palestinian. Officers didn't find any weapons or explosives on Asad, who was reportedly agitated and aggressive at times, according to an arrest affidavit. Authorities used a stun gun to subdue Asad on the jet bridge after he charged at an officer with fists clenched. He also chanted in a foreign language and threatened officers during a search. I'm not afraid of you cops, I've gotten in fights with cops in Ohio and broke their arms in three places, he said, according to the affidavit. I've broken skulls too! The affidavit noted that alcohol didn't appear to be a factor during the incident. The Transportation Security Administration says three of Asad's companions were also taken off the plane and questioned. The plane departed after a search. Asad was transported to jail after his arrest, according to the affidavit. A telephone number for county corrections rang unanswered early Thursday morning and his records could not immediately be located online. A phone number for Asad rang unanswered. Police didn't return a message. haaretz.com
