#1 Mohamed was still breathing when taken off the plane? For shame.

#2 It worked. The man was standing in the middle aisle when the pilot carried out his maneuver, and he fell to the floor, dropping one of his two 7mm pistols. Flight attendants then threw boiling water from a coffee machine in his face and at his chest, and some 10 people jumped on the man and beat him, the Spanish official said.

truly heart warming, I hope they beat this bastard into bloody pulp.

Should we be surprised that Muslims will fight for their lives?

#8 how odd. a muslim hijacking a plane? Someone call CAIR before we start profiling. FYI Great story that could only be improved by the Jihadi Hijacker swinging from a rope in the very near future.

Nice to know "the world" was paying attention after 9/11.

Was it SOP before?

Not likely since the flight was going to Canary Islands. Majority Spanish tourists returning from holiday.
