When Saleh Ali S. Alramakh, aka Saleh Ali S. Alramaleh of Saudi Arabia ignored flight attendants requests to return to his seat and turn off his electronic device, not once but twice, and then physically manhandled the attendants there was no reason to do anything but restrain him as best as possible while the flight diverted to Cleveland. Nothing in the article mentions anything about what would have driven this behaviour, but from past experience with other incidents of flying Muslims, it is a safe bet this had nothing to do with a lost love, or unemployment, or not enough hugs as a kid, but has everything to do with Islamic texts and tenets and the need to terrorize the enemy in whatever ways available.

Unruly passenger on flight diverted to Cleveland faces federal charges
CLEVELAND - The unruly passenger who caused a commercial jet flying from Chicago to Germany to divert to Cleveland Friday is facing federal charges.
The FBI said Monday that Saleh Ali S. Alramakh, aka Saleh Ali S. Alramaleh, age 21, of Riyadh Saudi Arabia, has been charged with interference with flight crew members and attendants.
The incident caused United Airlines Flight 944 -- en route to Frankfurt -- to divert to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport at about 5:30 p.m.
According to the FBI, Alramakh went into the plane’s bathroom and used an electronic device while the plane was taxiing in Chicago. He allegedly refused to follow the flight attendant’s directives that he immediately turn off the device and return to his seat, but eventually returned to his seat.
Shortly after takeoff and while passengers are still required to stay seated, the FBI said Alramakh went into the bathroom again and used an electronic device. He once again refused to follow orders by the flight attendants to immediately return to his seat, investigators said.
At this point, the FBI said flight attendants unlocked and opened the bathroom door, at which point Alramakh became verbally abusive toward the attendants before returning to his seat.
At some point later in the flight, Alramakh got up a third time and approached a flight attendant in a “belligerent, confrontational manner,” the FBI said.
“Alramakh was speaking in a loud tone of voice, using profanity, with his face inches from the flight attendant's face. The flight attendant asked Alramakh to step back multiple times, but instead Alramakh shoved the flight attendant backwards against the aircraft,” the FBI said in a news release.
At least one passenger stepped in, grabbing Alramakh and helping the flight crew restrain him, the FBI said, but Alramakh refused to comply with the crew and continued to try to kick and spit on the people around him.
Alramakh’s conduct caused the flight to divert to Cleveland, where police were waiting for him at the gate.
