Plane passenger removed from flight ‘because of his Isis tattoo’

Plane passenger removed from flight 'because of his Isis tattoo'
 Another passenger on board the flight from Stockholm in Sweden to Heraklion in Greece raised concerns over the tattoo to airline staff.
The crew believed the tattoo
was either associated with the terrorist group or a verse from the Koran, the
Local reported.
The Norwegian flight from Arlanda Airport was grounded until the captain opted to have the man and his female companion removed from the flight.
Darko Ali, commander at Arlanda’s border police station, said: ‘The captain decided that the person would not be allowed to remain on board and wanted that person to leave.He was not welcome on board the plane and we helped him to leave the airport.’
Mats Eriksson of Stockholm Police said: ‘The pilot has full authority to remove whoever he wants from the plane.’
He added that although the police were present, the incident is not a police matter.
Departure was delayed by an hour before the plane finally left Stockholm.
