Qatar muslim Mohammed al-Modadi attempts shoe bomber attack on United Flight 663

NBC comes to the defense of Mohammed al-Modadi (via Hotair linked below):

On MSNBC, Pete Williams says they haven’t found any explosives in his shoes yet and thinks it might be a huge misunderstanding. Supposedly al-Modadi got up to use the bathroom around 30 minutes before the flight landed; he was in there for awhile and when he came out an air marshal smelled smoke. When the marshal asked him what he was doing in the bathroom, al-Modadi supposedly said, “I was trying to light my shoes on fire.” In fact, he might have simply been having a cigarette and responding sarcastically, which I guess the marshal didn’t pick up on. Again, this is all from Williams. I’ll update when I see something contradictory. Incidentally, until a few minutes ago, MSNBC.com’s own headline for this story was “NBC News: Airline bombing foiled.” Now it’s “NBC: Passenger subdued aboard United jet.”

Looks like Obama’s continued pandering to muslims is really working! Federal air marshals subdued a man named Mohammed al Modadi who authorities say attempted to “light his shoes on fire” on a United flight 663 from Washington Reagan to Denver Wednesday night. According to ABC, the suspect was identified by authorities as a diplomat in the Qatar embassy in Washington. The FBI said  Mohammed al Modadi had full diplomat immunity as the 3rd secretary and vice-consul.

Authorities say an explosive team is on the way to the airport, and that while the presence of explosives has not yet been confirmed, they believe it was an attempted “shoe bomb.”
