Flint airport officer stabbed in suspected terror attack
An officer at Bishop International Airport, in the US city of Flint, has been stabbed in a suspected terror incident. A Canadian man brandishing a large knife made references to Syria and Iraq before the attack.
The FBI said it was investigating a knife attack in a US airport as an "act of terrorism."
On Wednesday, a Canadian man in his 50s allegedly stabbed a Flint airport police officer as he yelled "Allahu Akbar," the Arabic phrase for "God is great."
Security camera footage showed the man lingering at Bishop International Airport in Flint, Michigan, before emerging from the toilets and pulling out a 12-inch (30-centimeter) knife. He then stabbed an officer in the neck in a non-secured public area, police said.
The FBI said the man made references during the attack to people being killed in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The suspect was arrested and was cooperating with investigators, FBI special agent David Gelios told a news conference.
