Threat to kill Jews

MIAMI: US authorities arrested an unruly air passenger minutes before takeoff of an airplane bound from Miami to Detroit, after the man shouted that he wanted to “kill all the Jews,” police said on Thursday. Mansor Mohammed Asad, 43, was removed from the Northwest Airlines flight late Wednesday at the Miami International Airport and charged with disorderly conduct and other offences, police said. “He is in jail in Miami and facing several charges for threats, disorderly conduct and resisting his arrest without violence. He will be prosecuted,” Miami-Dade police spokeswoman Veronica Ferguson told AFP. The incident took place as the plane was on the tarmac.
