A Jordanian national with an American passport tried to hijack a German flight bound for Serbia in what may have been an attempt to take the passengers “with him to Allah.. Drama as passenger screams he 'wants to join Allah' as he tries to open plane's door. A PASSENGER tried to open a jumbo jet’s door and threatened to down the plane as it flew over Austria, it has emerged. The drama unfolded on a Lufthansa flight on Sunday evening, about half way through its journey from Frankfurt to Belgrade . The man, who is a Jordanian with an American passport, is reported to have banged on the door of the cockpit stating he would force the plane down if he was not allowed inside and said he wanted to join Allah. Frantic crew scrambled to stop the unnamed man and were joined by members of the Serbian handball team who restrained him in a seat in business class until the plane landed in Belgrade as scheduled. Police arrested the man on suspicion of endangering public safety and are now quizzing him to determine his motives. Andreas Bartels, a spokesman for Lufthansa, said flight 406 landed safely and the man was handed over to authorities. He said the plane’s doors cannot be opened in mid-flight. Serbia's public prosecutor has ordered the suspect into a 48-hour pre-trial detention on the grounds of endangering public safety. Milan Djukic, president of the Vojvodina handball team, said the man had acted irrationally from the start of the flight. He said: "About halfway into the flight he tried to open a plane door, but the cabin crew stopped him and two players guarded him for the rest of the flight.” He added that during the flight, most of the passengers were unaware of the events happening at the front of the plane. http://dailycaller.com/2015/12/06/jordanian-man-with-american-passport-tries-to-hijack-german-plane/
