A Saudi Arabian man was arrested in Detroit and charged with making a false statement about why he brought a pressure cooker with him on a flight from Amsterdam, according to a criminal complaint filed on Monday. The man arrived at the Detroit airport on Saturday and was questioned about why he had brought a pressure cooker with him.
The mans name was spelled al-Khawahir in the criminal complaint, while a spokeswoman at the U.S. attorneys office had earlier said it was al-Kwawahir.
