Man threatening to `kill all the Jews' taken off Miami flight, arrested
By JENNIFER LEBOVICH AND ROBERT SAMUELS

An Ohio man who said he wanted to ``kill all the Jews'' was taken off a flight from Miami to Detroit and arrested Wednesday, police said. Delta Flight 2485 had been taxiing when Mansor Mohammad Asad, 43, caused a ``disturbance'' and the plane returned to the jet-bridge. When Asad was taken off the plane to be interviewed by police, he threatened officers, made racial comments and charged an officer, authorities said. Asad was charged with threats against a public servant, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer without violence to his person...

On Wednesday, the crew aboard the flight scheduled to leave at 5:45 p.m. from Miami International Airport, decided to return the flight to its gate, where police took four passengers into custody, Homeland Security's Sari Koshetz wrote in a news release late Wednesday night. She said four passengers were taken off a plane from Miami to Detroit after making ``inappropriate remarks and acting disruptively.'' Police did not release any information about the other passengers. After the passengers were removed, those onboard were rescreened and the flight was cleared for departure.

According to Miami-Dade police, here's what happened: The plane was taxiing when the captain decided to return to the jet-bridge. Passengers on the plane told police Asad was ``loud and disruptive, using anti-Semitic references such as, `I'm Palestinian and I want kill all the Jews,' '' Miami-Dade police Detective Javier Baez wrote in a release. Asad was speaking in a foreign language, thought to be Arabic.

He was taken off the plane and searched, police said. While they tried to search him, he berated officers and made racist comments. According to the arrest affidavit, Asad said: `` `I'm not afraid of you cops. I've gotten in fights with cops in Ohio and broke their arms in three places. I've broken skulls too.' '' He then prayed and chanted, before telling a cop to ``Go back to Africa you white racist cop!'' Asad was searched, but officers did not find any weapons or explosives.

During the search, his socks and shoes were removed. An officer took off Asad's right handcuff so he could put them back on. When the officer did that, Asad once again started yelling at the officers. He ``stood up and rolled up his sleeves. He then clenched his fists and charged,'' toward another officer, the report said. He wouldn't stop and officers used a Taser on him. Asad fell to the ground, but did not listen to officers commands and then tried to stand up. A Taser was used a second time. He was then handcuffed and taken to the jail.

2. "Go back to Africa you white racist cop."
Rage can be so nonsensical.

3. Good. In a related note the 89 y.o. shooter in the Holocaust Museum in D.C. has died.

He was one old man "full of hate." May the good Lord have mercy on his blackened soul ... before He promptly casts him down to Hell. :(

5. Article sure doesn't say much about the others taken off of the flight
after making ``inappropriate remarks and acting disruptively.'' Leaves you sort of wondering what the rest of the story is.
