Dutch Citizen Overpowers Terrorist on Flight to Detroit

Elsevier, Dec. 26:

Schuringa, an entrepreneur from Amsterdam, saw Abdulmutallab rise from his airplane and something lit. He dove right on top of the terrorist and held in a headlock Abdulmutallab until after landing, he told the CNN.

By his heroic action Schuringa was burned and lost his shoes.

After landing, he was treated like a hero, says Lydia Faber, partner at the media company of the Amsterdam redlayed to the Telegraph.

The parents of Schuringa indicated they were "very proud" of him.

A friend of Schuringa, Kasem Challiou, says that the terrorist had packed explosives.

"It definitely was not fireworks, but very serious," says the friend of Schuringa, who spoke after the failed attack.

Other media identify Schuringa as a "film director" who was traveling to the US to visit friends.
