PORTLAND, Ore. — A Saudi Arabian teenager who authorities say swung his fist at a flight attendant and mentioned Osama bin Laden during a flight from Portland to Houston has appeared in court.
An attorney for 19-year-old Yazeed Mohammed A. Abunayyan told a federal judge in Portland Wednesday that he needs more time to meet with Abunayyan before he enters a plea.
The indictment says Abunayyan interfered with a flight attendant and a flight crew member by refusing to stop smoking. He's also accused of hitting or attempting to hit several passengers.
The indictment also says he spoke or sung about Osama bin Laden and his hatred of women during the incident.
