Report: Police Storm Jetliner in New York

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - About 20 police officers, many in SWAT gear, stormed
an American Airlines jetliner at New York's Kennedy Airport on Thursday,
subduing one man and handcuffing two others, possibly thwarting a hijacking
attempt, a passenger aboard the plane told ABC News.

ABC reported early Friday that authorities arrested 10 suspects -- nine men
and one woman -- and believed that there were plans to hijack planes at both
Kennedy and LaGuardia airports in New York.

New York transportation authorities said they could not comment on the
report.

The three New York area airports were shut down after the reported incidents
and remained closed early Friday.

ABC said at least some of those arrested were carrying knives and false
identification. Knives were used in Tuesday's hijackings of four commercial
airliners.

Passenger Jim Hunter said he and others aboard American Airlines Flight 133,
scheduled to fly from New York to Los Angeles, had sat on the plane for
hours before police entered the jetliner.

He told ABC that ``about 20 or more police officers, many in SWAT gear with
large guns all unholstered'' stormed the plane and screamed to the
passengers ``to go and hit the floor.''

``Meanwhile, there was a commotion going on behind me -- about four or five
rows behind me -- where they were subduing a passenger and he was definitely
resisting and trying to fight off,'' Hunter told ABC.

``It was obviously worthless given how many policemen were on the airplane.
And then two other passengers that were right in front of me were ultimately
asked to go with authorities as well. They were taken to a galley,
handcuffed and then led off the plane from the front as well,'' he added.

The incidents took place two days after hijackers commandeered four planes,
crashing two into the twin towers of the World Trade Centers in New York and
one into the Pentagon outside Washington. A fourth plane crashed in
Pennsylvania.

One person carrying false identification was arrested at New York's Kennedy
Airport on Thursday, and ``five or six'' others were detained, said Police
Commissioner Bernard Kerik.

Some were Arabs, Kerik told a news conference.

The man arrested carried false identification and a pilot's license, and
attempted to clear security, he said. It was not immediately clear whether
the pilot's license was also false.

A federal law enforcement official told Reuters ``it seems there was one
arrest made by port authorities of New York and New Jersey at JFK. Our joint
terrorism task force and the FBI are looking into the matter and there are
three other incidents at airports into which FBI and joint chairs and task
force are conducting an investigation.''
