The Dutch public prosecutor said the two Yemeni men are being held on suspicion of a conspiracy to commit a terrorist criminal act. Ahmed Mohamed Nasser al-Soofi and Hezam al-Mursi were arrested at Schiphol on arrival from Chicago aboard United Airlines Flight 908 after US authorities had raised concerns about suspicious items in their luggage, including box cutters, knives a cell phone taped to a medicine bottle and 7,000 dollars. Still, they were allowed to fly out of Chicago.
