The program goes on to say that once the flight returned to the gate four middle-eastern looking men ran off of the flight leaving their luggage. Further, it says that after going through their luggage al qaeda manuals, etc. were found.

I have never heard anything about this flight or this story? Has anyone else?

I've got to agree with the other two posters here. I mean, think about it...if they were really about to kill themselves, what would they need to check luggage for?
