Muslim group hails ‘hero passengers.’
A PROMINENT Muslim group has applauded the heroism of passengers who prevented a man with reported links to Al-Qaeda from trying to blow up an airplane as it approached Detroit on Christmas Day.
“Those brave and vigilant passengers who stopped the perpetrator should be commended for their heroism,” said Salam Al-Marayati, executive director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
The Washington group said it was “relieved to know the attempted plot was foiled” and urged greater vigilance to prevent further attacks.
