Qatari diplomat Mohammed Al-Madadi
The 27-year-old Qatari diplomat who caused a full-blown, midair security scare when he tried to sneak a cigarette and then joked about it should be recalled or expelled for doing just about "everything wrong" on board the United Airlines flight to Denver, some officials said Thursday.
Qatari diplomat Mohammed Al-Madadi caused a full-blown, midair security incident--including the scrambling of Air Force F-16s--when he tried to smoke a cigarette in the airliner's bathroom. An air marshal, alerted by the smell of smoke, confronted Al-Madadi, who stupidly joked that he was trying to set his shoes on fire--an all too unfortunate reference to the infamous airline "shoe bomber" Richard Reid. Now there are calls for Al-Madadi to be expelled from his post in the U.S.
