Update: 2/23/12, Obama Immigration Policy Allowed Saudi Muslim Qaeda Fan on Flight After Drunk Driving, Attempted Murder," Debbie Schlussel
UPDATE, 2/22/12: Arrested man continually yelled "Allah is great," as he was led off the plane. The same man had 2 days earlier led Portland police on a car chase, slammed into multiple cars, attempted to run over pedestrians, and assaulted a police officer. He was only held in jail one day and was released on bail Monday. Smoking Gun refers to the man as "a Saudi teen" in its headline and "the intoxicated teenager" within the story.

"The man who repeatedly yelled “Allah is great” as he was removed yesterday (Tuesday) from a plane that was forced to make an emergency landing due to his unruly behavior is a 19-year-old Saudi Arabian who was arrested Sunday night after he led Oregon police on a drunken car chase that saw him ram two cop cars and attempt to run over pedestrians, The Smoking Gun has learned.
According to investigators, Yazeed Mohammed Abunayyan was smoking an electronic cigarette on a Continental Airlines flight traveling from Portland to Houston. When a flight attendant directed Abunayyan to stop smoking (or relinquish the device), he refused and began “yelling profanities and swinging his fist at the flight attendant,” according to an indictment filed this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Portland.
Abunayyan, pictured in the mug shot at right, also hit or attempted to hit other passengers and was “speaking or singing about Usama bin Laden and his hatred of women,” the indictment charges. Abunayyan, who reportedly has been in the U.S. visiting relatives, was charged with a felony count of interfering with flight crew members.
Male passengers on the Boeing 737 helped a flight attendant subdue Abunayyan, who was removed from the plane in plastic handcuffs and turned over to FBI agents. The Continental flight returned to Portland 20 minutes after departure.
Abunayyan, who is scheduled to appear later this afternoon before a federal magistrate, was arrested Sunday evening by cops after a wild car chase in Medford, an Oregon city 275 miles south of Portland.
Police reported that the intoxicated teenager led them on a 20-minute chase that ended after his Ford sedan got stuck on a dirt embankment. During the chase, Abunayyan was spotted driving in circles, attempting to run over pedestrians, and driving the wrong way on a street. He also rammed two patrol cars....
Abunayyan was booked late Sunday into the Jackson County jail on a variety of charges, including driving under the influence of intoxicants, assault on a police officer, criminal mischief, hit and run, and reckless endangerment.
He was freed from custody Monday around 6 PM after posting $65,000 bond. Which allowed him, a day later, to board Flight 1118, albeit briefly." via Drudge----------------------------------
Woman passenger on KHOU video (below) says man was screaming, "Allah is great, Allah is great!" This is on the KHOU video but not mentioned in the news story below nor apparently on the newscast. Passengers had to tackle screaming, belligerent Middle Eastern men. You're not supposed to know that, you're supposed to think it was only a no-smoking thing.

HOUSTON—"Two people were arrested after a scare on board a Continental flight that was headed to Houston.
