#1 Perhaps this has something to do with it.

#2 Luckily he was Eritrean and most likely scrawny. He probably just wanted some food (or booze, he was trying to get to the pilots).

#4 turns out he wanted to go to the bathroom, and those Qatari flight attendants are REALLY serious about not getting up when the "fasten seat belts" light is on. And Mr Eritrean seemed to think he could appeal to the pilot about his gastrointestinal needs. The substance seems to have been a medicine of some kind - presumably not a laxative.

#5 Exactly what is an Eritrean? Are they Mormons? The area used to be an Italian protectorate I think and part of Ethiopia. Now, whenever the MSM refers to Eritrea, no mention is made towards any religious issues. However, given the violent civil war which resulted in its seperation from what used to be predominantly Coptic Christian Ethiopia, one would have to assume Islam troubles.
