After Alleged Threat By ERICA WERNER .c The Associated Press LOS ANGELES (Sept. 28) - A passenger allegedly uttered an anti-American threat during a confrontation with flight attendants Thursday, prompting an airliner to return to Los Angeles under escort by Air Force jet fighters. The FBI identified the passenger as Javid Naghani, an Iranian citizen in the United States legally. He was in custody Thursday evening, said FBI spokesman Matt McLaughlin, and was expected to appear before a federal magistrate Friday. He was not immediately charged with a crime. Authorities would not describe the threat. ''Shortly after departure a male passenger was apprehended smoking in the lavatory,'' said Nicole Couture-Simard, spokeswoman for Air Canada in Montreal. ''The passenger became verbally abusive and uttered an anti-American threat.'' The confrontation aboard Air Canada Flight 792 to Toronto was resolved without further incident, and the plane landed safely less than an hour after takeoff, authorities said. Naghani was traveling on the Boeing 767 with a woman. She was also questioned but was not arrested, the FBI said. Naghani's wife, Rosa Hinogos, told Los Angeles TV station KCAL Thursday night that it was she who was traveling with him. ''My husband is not dangerous. My husband is a businessman. He has a lot of employees,'' she said ''I didn't like the way they treated us, like terrorists.'' A third man was being questioned as a material witness, said Nancy Castles, an airport spokeswoman. Couture-Simard said it was not necessary to restrain the passenger. ''The pilot elected to return to Los Angeles as a precautionary measure only,'' she said. There were 145 people on the plane, including a crew of seven, said Nancy Castles, an airport spokeswoman. The jet returned to the airport around 1:15 p.m. and passengers were booked on the next flight. Two F-16s escorted the Air Canada flight into the airport, authorities said. Castles said the jets were likely responding to a Federal Aviation Administration request after the pilot of the 767 described the situation to the FAA. The incident occurred as Gov. Gray Davis was traveling to an airport press conference on a shuttle bus. ''We were about five minutes out of Lot C when those two jets buzzed the airport, so we knew something was up,'' said Davis, who announced a call-up of National Guard troops to bolster security, then took a flight to San Francisco to demonstrate confidence in air travel. ------------------------ Yahoo!
