Jihad-Jihad was yelled on United Flight 1074 from Dulles International Airport to Denver. The passenger was subdued, and everyone was ok. Based on pictures of the culprit, the Jihad-Jihad screamer didn’t look like a radical Muslim terrorist. He looked some some crazy nut job who just wouldn’t wait to get the Denver to get their marijuana.

| Jihad-Jihad yelled on United plane from Dulles |
United Airlines flight made a U-turn in the sky after a passenger ran toward the cockpit screaming “jihad, jihad,” according to a government official with direct knowledge of the incident.
There is nothing, so far, in the man’s background to suggest he has a connection to terrorists, the government source said. His mental state at the time is unknown, and no weapons were found after he was subdued.
Still, his words are alarming, coming at a time when the United States and its allies have been targeted by Islamist extremist groups like ISIS, and with memories of the September 11, 2001, hijackings of four U.S. commercial airliners still etched in many Americans’ minds.
The incident started shortly after United Flight 1074 took off around 10:15 p.m. Monday from Dulles International Airport in suburban Washington.
