Airline Passengers Held on Fears of Terrorist Plot 01 Sep 2010 Two United States residents of Yemeni descent who flew from Chicago to Amsterdam on Sunday night were detained by the Dutch police after landing on Monday in a bizarre episode that American officials feared might be a dry run for a terrorist plot. The Dutch National Prosecutor’s office said in a statement on Tuesday that the men were being held on suspicion of conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism and that prosecutors would decide "in a few days" whether to charge them or not.
