#1 T'would have been nice if they had been able to assist him in his exit and then closed the door behind him - hitting him in the ass in the process.

He could've been the world's first Izzoid Suicicle.

Hmmmm... organic and in short supply... I'll bet, after he hit the ground, he would have been considered a delicacy in China.

#3 Humm, what is it about these flights from Britian to Norway. Was it last week they grabbed a couple of arab types with knives trying to board ans a while back I believe they nabbed someone with a gun? Or was the gun going the Norway - Britian route.

#4 Maybe the stewardesse displayed a little too much ankle or was wearing purfume. That can drive a moslem man beyond the bounds of sanity or so the Iman says.

#5 "Humm, what is it about these flights from Britian to Norway."

Don't forget a/Q has specifically targetted Norway. A tape released in May urged attacks on the embassies and interests of the United States, Britain, Australia and Norway. From this BBC article:

"Norway, meanwhile, says it has no idea why it was singled out for attacks on its interests. BBC's Lars Bevanger in Oslo says people there are baffled because Norway has a reputation for its attempts to bring peace to the Middle East. Norway has some troops in Afghanistan, but analysts say it is small and other countries have larger numbers. Our correspondent says the Norwegians are hoping al-Qaeda simply got its geography wrong but they are nonetheless taking the threat seriously."

Does anyone have an explanation? Perhaps Li'l Binny had a bad family holiday there once, suffered from fjordophobia, was rebuffed by an Oslo girl...

#6 Steve,

It was on a flight from Sweden to Britain that the Swedish customs nabbed a Moslem cleric packing heat. He was on his way to a conference in the UK and claimed he needed the handgun to protect himself from all those 'Islamophobes'.

As I remember it, they cut the guy loose.

#7 Super Hose: I think the little girl across the aisle was playing with an evil, Zionist Barbie doll, and that set him off.

#8 ...And yes, it was a London-Oslo flight from which several men were ejected a couple of weeks ago.
