The Associated Press has learned that a second Nigerian man has been taken into custody aboard a jetliner in Detroit after locking himself in the airliner’s bathroom.More about this from WWJ radio in Detroit:
A law enforcement official tells the AP that the incident took place aboard the same Northwest flight that was attacked on Christmas Day. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the incident was ongoing.
One day after a Nigerian man was charged with attempting to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, another man was detained for unruly behavior after the same flight landed safely in Michigan.You know what? I think this calls for a demonstration demanding better action against terrorists who make our flights miserable for us. Why should people have to be discouraged from flying on vacation, which this kind of aggravating crap can cause?
A Delta spokeswoman says all 257 passengers have been safely taken off the plane. Delta operates the Northwest flight.
About 10 emergency vehicles, sirens blaring, surrounded the plane after it landed.
Metro Airport spokesman Scott Wintner told WWJ radio there was a report of suspicious activity on Delta/Northwest flight 253 from Amsterdam – the same flight number as in the attempted Christmas Day attack.
Sue Elliott, a Delta spokesperson, told CBS News the passenger in question “was verbally disruptive. Out of abundance of caution the flight crew asked that the plane be met on arrival by law enforcement.”
There were reports that the man detained was also Nigerian. There was no indication he had attempted to cause any physical harm to anyone aboard the flight, or to the airliner, reportedly a Boeing 737.
A law enforcement official tells CBS News correspondent Bob Orr passengers and crew became suspicious after the man locked himself in an airplane bathroom. A search of the plane was being carried out. There was no immediate word of any device being found.

Update: according to The Times, the attempted bomber even defended 9-11:
He is remembered for his religious fervour. During Ramadan, he declined to join fellow pupils going to a disco, telling them gently but firmly that it would be un-Islamic. He defended 9/11 as an act of war, saying that it might have been necessary because there were American troops on Saudi soil.And this was when he was in his teens, showing that he was indoctrinated early on.
