Afghan refugee stopped on U.S.-bound flight with explosive materials, but terrorism not suspected

Just the News-

A male Afghan refugee who was departing the Ramstein Air Base in Germany for the United States was detained Monday after it was discovered during pre-flight screening that he had blasting caps and other explosives materials in his carry-on luggage, three U.S. officials told Just the News.

The man, who was born in the early 1990s and an Afghan citizen, was working as contractor for the U.S. government when he was evacuated, and officials believe the materials were related to his work and not terrorism, officials said.

Nonetheless, the man was placed on a restricted list and prevented from traveling to the U.S., according to a Transportation Security Administration summary of the incident obtained by Just the News. “Subject has been moved to a ‘red list’ and will not travel to the U.S.” and U.S. air marshals were advised, the TSA memo stated. read more

  1. Blasting caps and explosives are not something easily obtainable in Germany, especially on the Ramstein Air Base.

    Just what is the vetting process for admitting these Afghans into the world.

  2. May these ‘martyrs’ make it to their harems in allah’s paradise and may the virgin girls marvel at lead placed by American patriots. Biden’s hair-plug patch would also make a good spot for a slugger. Cripes, they’re asking for it.
