| NHK reported Thursday a suspected al-Qaeda operative now in FBI custody boarded a Korean Air flight to San Francisco at Incheon International Airport and was questioned in Japan after the flight was diverted to Tokyo. Hamid Hayat, 23, a resident of Lodi, California, left Pakistan on May 27, arriving at Incheon via Bangkok two days later. He then boarded a Korean Air flight to San Francisco, which was diverted to Japan when the FBI found out he was on the plane. NHK said the FBI later allowed the plane to leave when Hayat denied being an al-Qaeda operative, but recently arrested him in the U.S. It is not known how long the suspect stayed in Korea. |
