| Man attacked pilots with axe |
| 2004-09-29 |
| A passenger on a Kato Airline flight from Narvik went ballistic and attacked the pilots with an axe during the approach to Bodø airport Wednesday. The passenger, who is allegedly of foreign decent, was arrested and is now detained at Salten police district. Both pilots and one passenger are injured and have been sent to Nordlandssykehuset. «The two pilots were attacked during the approach, but still managed to make an emergency landing,» said Margrete Torsenter, police prosecutor, at Slaten police district, to TV 2 Nettavisen. «None of them are allegedly mortally injured.» ... Looks like a small plane, and probably a small airport too, but still - being able to take an axe onboard !?! |

| #18 (from Swedish news) The man is Algerian. He received a few days ago a final decision denying refugee status. He also had a cutter. He hit the pilot and copilot, then threw himself onto the stick, throwing the plane into a dive. The passengers only acted after the pilot called for help. They subdued the attacker when the plane was a mere 100ft above the ground. There are no security checks in small airports across Scandinavia, but a new Eu directive will require changes by early 2005. My conclusion: deport all Moslems, especially "asylum seekers". Now. |

| #16 Two of the passengers managed to drag the man out of the cockpit and force him down on the floor. They managed to keep him down until the plane had parked. The 93rd Volunteer Infantry Brigade, Viking Division. Salute! |

| #14 In the Al-Aska Paul fleet (of one) aircraft, firearms and a crash hatchet are always carried aboard. Profiling takes care of the nutcases, except for the pilot in command. Heh heh. |

| #12 He is Algerian and he brought the axe onto the plane with him. He is described as a disgruntled asylum-seeker... |

| #11 Exactly what's happening in London - white criminals are described as 'white' - black criminals as 'man' or 'suspect' / no mention of race - I guess we're 10/20 years behind as in most things. |

| #10 N Guard, same thing happened in South Africa around the time of the transition to a black government. Everyone was so race-conscious that it was the unwritten rule never to mention the race of suspected criminals. So the ridiculous situation arose that if you saw five black guys in jeans and T-shirts hijacking a car and reported it to the police, it would be reported in the news as 'five men' in jeans and T-shirts, thereby making it more difficult for them to be caught. However, from time to time one heard descriptions of white criminals. After a while, one couldn't escape the impression that the media were on the side of black criminals. |

| #9 Yes, but on the positive side it may be a good thing that they are not naming him at this stage because naming him might interfere with him being found guilty and sentenced to being locked up and the key to his cell door thrown away. Just a thought. But do they have juries in Norway?? If so they could get Hagar the Horrible on the jury. Though maybe he's Swedish?! |

| #8 I'm just old enough to remember when the whole black/white racial crime statistical disparity thing was still a big deal here in the U.S. It was pointed out to me then that when a white guy committed a crime his face was shown on the six o'clock news, and his name was announced. If the perp was black, there was Never any pictures, and if he had a "black" name(like Rufus or Tyrone), it always seemd to be omitted. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Sigh. I guess the threat (like the rest of our flawed and fallen world) isn't realy real to the LLL. And it wont ever be untill its far too late. Why do these loosers remind me of the Gnostics of the late classical/early mideval eras? |

| #7 They never give the name when the suspect is "foreign" in a way that points to Islam. If he was "foreign" in the manner of Tom Klanmonkey of Klansville, USA, his name would have been all over this story. Now maybe this wacko isn't muslim, but this not giving the names out when they are is something I've noticed about the media worldwide for the last couple of years. |

| #5 Don't all Vikings carry axes? If the ragheads keep this up, they'll put those pacifistic Scandinavians in touch with their inner-Goth. |

| #4 The fire axe is part of the aircraft emergency equipment. There’s a significant Palestinian population in the Oslo area and there’s been attempts by radical Jihadists to coopt them to the cause, but to this point the radicals had been unsuccessful. |
