Two men escorted off plane at Boston Logan airport for speaking arabic [View all]

BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) – Sources told FOX 25 there was an American Airlines flight that was headed to Chicago. There were two men on that plane – not sitting next to each other – and speaking Arabic.

There were some concerned marathoners on the flight so the plane was brought back to the gate and the two men were escorted off the plane.

No other details were immediately available.

So does that make it OK to target people on a plane who did nothing wrong but speak arabic? Cali_Democrat Apr 2013 #22
