OFFICER HURT AT MICHIGAN AIRPORT; FBI INVESTIGAT­ING

-

The FBI says the stabbing of a police officer at a Flint airport Wednesday is being investigat­ed as an “act of terror,” carried out by a man who yelled “Allahu Akbar” before knifing the officer in the neck.

The suspect is Canadian resident Amor Ftouhi, who was charged in U.S. District Court with committing a violent act in an airport after he allegedly stabbed a police officer at Flint Bishop Internatio­nal Airport on Wednesday morning.

“After stabbing the police officer, Ftouhi continued to yell ‘Allah’ several times,” FBI agent Thomas Sondgeroth wrote in a criminal complaint.
