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.'' ------------------------ Yahoo!
