Stabbing at Flint MI airport investigated as 'possible terrorist attack'
2017-06-21
FLINT, MI (WNEM) -

The FBI is investigating a stabbing at Bishop International Airport as a "possible terrorist attack."

The incident left one law enforcement officer in critical condition. He has since been downgraded to stable condition.

It happened Wednesday, June 21 about 9:45 a.m. on the second floor of the airport's main terminal.

The suspect has been taken into custody. FBI officials said the suspect possibly came to the United States from Canada and speaks Arabic. The FBI is now investigating the case as a "possible terrorist attack," according to officials.

NBC News added: "The attacker allegedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" before stabbing the officer"

Shouldn't that be "upgraded"? Ah, yes, the article has changed now. Says "upgraded". Also says the FBI has decided it's terrorism.

He sure went to an awful lot of trouble to stab one guy.

FBI identifies suspect, says Bishop airport stabbing was 'act of terror'
The suspect, Amor Ftouhi, stabbed Lt. Jeff Neville in the neck, the FBI said. Neville was taken to Hurley Medical Center in critical condition, but has since been upgraded to stable condition.

Investigators said Ftouhi attacked Neville from behind with a 12-inch knife.

Ftouhi is about 50-years-old and a Canadian citizen, the FBI said.

He entered the United States through Canada on June 16 in Lake Champlain, New York. He rented a car in New York City and drove the car to the Flint airport, the FBI said.

Investigators said Ftouhi acted alone and they do not believe this was part of a wider plot. However, they are seeking search warrants for electronic media.

#5  Knowing how thorough NBC news is, it's possible he stumbled while showing the officer the Barbie Special Ken Knife whilst he was shouting "All Aboard"!
