FBI investigates Michigan airport stabbing as 'act of terrorism'


(MENAFN) The US Federal Bureau of Investigation said it is investigating the stabbing act of a police officer inside the main terminal of a small airport in Flint, Michigan, as an act of terrorism.

David Gelios, special agent in charge of the Detroit division of the FBI said: "I will tell you that we are investigating this incident today that happened at about 9:45 this morning as an act of terrorism."

However, the US Department of Justice identified the suspect as Amor M. Ftouhi, 49, of Quebec, Canada, and he legally entered US from New York.

A criminal complaint said that Ftouhi yelled 'Allahu Akbar' before stabbing Lieutenant Jeff Neville of the airport's Department of Public Safety.
