Teen In Suicide Plane Hijack Plot
A sixteen-year-old boy has been arrested by FBI agents for plotting to hijack a plane as part of a bizarre suicide bid.
FBI spokesman George Bolds said the teenager was removed from Southwest Airlines Flight 284 by authorities at Nashville International Airport and found with "suspicious" items.
Bolds said the youngster had handcuffs, rope and duct tape in his bag and was believed to be travelling alone. The juvenile's name has not been released.
"His plan had a low probability of success," Bolds said.
Bolds dismissed earlier broadcast reports that the teen was planning to crash the plane into a "Hannah Montana" concert in Lafayette, Louisiana.
The boy is believed to be suicidal, Bolds said.
