Muslim Man Tried To Kill Jewish Man Aboard Ethiopian Jet.

A Muslim man has been detained for choking a
Jewish passenger on a flight to Ethiopia and urging
others to lynch him after discovering the man was Israeli.
The Sudanese attacker realised he was seated behind
the Jewish passenger about 30 minutes before the
Ethiopian Airlines flight landed in Addis Ababa, on
Thursday last week.

He then allegedly lashed out at him - striking him with
a metal food tray and screaming 'Allah Akbar' and
'slaughter the Jew'.

The victim, named as 54 year old Arik, told Ynet;
"He hit me over the head with a metal tray and
shouted "Allah akbar" and "I will slaughter the Jew. Only
after a few seconds, just before I was about to lose
consciousness, did I manage to call out and a flight
attendant who saw what was happening summoned her
colleagues."

Aside from the staff on board the Chad to Ethiopia
flight, the only other person who came to his aid was
a Lebanese passenger.

He said once they overpowered the attacker, Arik was
sheltered at the rear of the plane while his attacker was
guarded.

However, he said his Sudanese Muslim attacker even
tried to convince the rest of the passengers to help
"finish him off".

According to Haaretz, an Ethiopian Airlines spokesperson
said the attacker showed no signs of violence when
boarding the flight in Chad.

"He didn't only attack the Israeli passenger, but other
passengers and crew members as well."
