Passengers Mutiny to have Muslims Removed from Flight


from the Daily Mail

British travelers staged an unprecedented mutiny - refusing to allow their flight to take off until two men they feared were terrorists were forcibly removed.

The extraordinary scenes happened after some of the 150 passengers on a Malaga-Manchester flight overheard two men of Asian appearance apparently talking Arabic. Passengers told cabin crew they feared for their safety and demanded police action. Some stormed off the Airbus minutes before it was due to leave the Costa del Sol at 3am. Others waiting for the flight in the departure lounge refused to board it.

The pair were marched off the jet at gunpoint after fellow passengers alerted officials on the flight back from Malaga, Spain.
