Crazy or terrorist? (An Alarming News Continuing Series)
Man goes berserk on a plane, shouts that he knows Osama Bin Laden (Hat-tip Jeremayakova):
A Brentford man who went berserk on a plane, shouting that he knew Osama Bin Laden, had to be restrained with hand and leg cuffs.The drunken rampage began after Virgin Airline crew refused to let 36-year-old Moustafa Moufaden buy more alcohol.
Demanding that the captain of the flight from Shanghai to London’s Heathrow should call his bank to check his credit rating, 36-year-old Moufaden “shouted loudly that he had contacts with Osama Bin Laden”, prosecutor Nicholas Rimmer told Isleworth Crown Court on Monday.
“This caused considerable concern among crew and passengers,” he said.

Hmm . . . the choices are crazy or terrorist. What to choose, what to chose. May I suggest adding a third catagory? Drunk A-hole who needs a good beat down.

Posted by: EiNY at September 14, 2006 12:04 PMThat was made as a joke I assume?
Posted by: Nick at September 14, 2006 01:35 PMi agree with sam sounds more like a drunk trying to use a "powerful figure" just due to his drunkeness. and EiNY it was probablly what name he called out more then what name he had that caused the alarm.

Posted by: See-Dubya at September 15, 2006 04:47 AMMy god (again). Sam is right. I bet they will continue to allow drunks on planes, and allow them to continue to drink themselves into that frightening surly state that terrifies everyone else. The fact that he was drunk would indicate he wasn't that devout a muslim.
