[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

A veteran mechanic at American Airlines admitted to sabotaging a plane with 150 people on board
...although when first caught he claimed pique over a labour dispute...
Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani, 60, pleaded guilty in federal court in Miami, Florida, to one charge of attempted destruction of an aircraft

Alani faces up to 20 years in prison during his sentencing in March 2020

Reports say Alani has possible links to Islamic State members in Iraq
...that would be his brother, whom he visited in Iraq in March...
Alani was seen on surveillance footage gluing Styrofoam into the plane's nose so he could gain overtime to fix the plane
