Passenger Arrested After 'Kill' Threats

AN airline passenger in Miami proclaimed: "I want to kill all the Jews" before police forced him off a Detroit-bound plane, authorities said yesterday.

Mansor Mohammad Asad, 43, of Ohio, was arrested on Wednesday night and charged with threats against a public servant, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer.

An FBI spokeswoman said there were no indications the disturbance was related to terrorism.

Authorities used a stun gun to subdue Asad after he charged at an officer with fists clenched. He also chanted in a foreign language and threatened officers.

Three of Asad's companions were also taken off the plane and questioned. The plane left after a search.
