I hope it is the two cats written about in todays süddeutche zeitung. I mean I hope they caught them. They were looking for them according to the paper if I read it right.
Merge?
This is the second time with KLM. 3 yrs ago there was a plane going from Amsterdam to Mexico City that wasn't allowed to fly over US airspace due to 2 suspected terrorists onboard.
Well like I said in Gems posting Süddeutche Zeiting had an article today which I believe said they were looking for two suspected terrorist. I hope these were the ones they were looking for.
Sky News, via the sharer of my office, says the arrests are a Somalian and a German who was born in Mogadishu, and that suicide notes were found in their homes.

No, they're two others. Just heard it on the radio. Those two were Somalian and German, the others are lebanese and a converted German.

German federal police seized two suspected terrorists from a Dutch passenger aircraft at Cologne airport Friday shortly before it was due to take off for Amsterdam, officials told CNN.
A 23-year-old Somali national and a 24-year-old German citizen who had been born in Mogadishu were arrested on a KLM plane at 6.55 am local time (0455 GMT), a police spokesman said.
Police said "farewell" letters had been found from the men that led them to suspect they were intending to carry out terror attacks. It was not revealed where the letters were found or how long the men had been under observation.
