No charges for Qatar diplomat after mid-air bomb scare

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"The Qatari diplomat who caused a midair security scare won't face charges after claiming
he was trying to light his shoes on fire when it appears he was simply smoking in the bathroom."

The most odd part follows:
"When the marshals demanded to know what he was doing, the man identified himself as a diplomat from Qatar and 
responded,
perhaps sarcastically, "I'm trying to light my shoes on fire.""
