Turkish foreign minister: EU shouldn’t ‘dare’ to impose sanctions over Turkey’s aggression toward Greece and Cyprus

Cyprus to deport 17 Muslim migrants suspected of jihad terror links

Cyprus: Muslim arrested on suspicion of misunderstanding Islam, targeting Israeli interests
“A Lebanese man carrying a Saudi Arabian passport.” This is, of course, the common way these would-be jihad terrorists are identified in the media, even though their nationality and passport status are irrelevant to their motivations for wanting to target anyone’s interests.

This report comes from a local UK paper, Wakefield Today: “Terror on plane” (thanks to Kemaste). They locked themselves in the bathroom and were banging on the walls.
