Two men taken off a Chicago-to-Amsterdam United Airlines flight in the Netherlands have been charged by Dutch police with "preparation of a terrorist attack," U.S. law enforcement officials tell ABC News.

U.S. officials said the two appeared to be travelling with what were termed "mock bombs" in their luggage. "This was almost certainly a dry run, a test," said one senior law enforcement official.

A spokesman for the Dutch public prosecutor, Ernst Koelman, confirmed the two men were arrested this morning and said "the investigation is ongoing." He said the arrests were made "at the request of American authorities."

The two were allowed to board the flight at O'Hare airport last night despite security concerns surrounding one of them, the officials said.

The men were identified as Ahmed Mohamed Nasser al Soofi, of Detroit, MI, and Hezem al Murisi, the officials said. A neighbor of al Soofi told ABC News he is from Yemen.

Airport security screeners in Birmingham, Alabama first stopped al Soofi and referred him to additional screening because of what officials said was his "bulky clothing."

In addition, officials said, al Soofi was found to be carrying $7,000 in cash and a check of his luggage found a cell phone taped to a Pepto-Bismol bottle, three cell phones taped together, several watches taped together, a box cutter and three large knives. Officials said there was no indication of explosives and he and his luggage were cleared for the flight from Birmingham to Chicago O'Hare.

Once in Chicago, officials say they learned al Soofi checked his luggage on a flight to Washington's Dulles airport for connections on flights to Dubai and then Yemen, even though he did not board the flight himself.

Instead, officials say, al Soofi was joined by the second man, Al Murisi, and boarded the United flight from Chicago to Amsterdam.

When Customs and Border officials learned al Soofi was not on the flight from Dulles to Dubai, the plane was ordered to return to the gate so his luggage could be removed. Officials said additional screening found no evidence of explosives.

The two men were detained by Dutch authorities when the United flight landed in Amsterdam, according to the officials.

Is there a connection between these guys and the mosque?

Are they members of the Manhattan mosque? I doubt it.

By the same token, building the mosque won't deter a single would-be terrorist or build a bridge to the non-Muslim community.

highly unlikely.

I fail to understand the fixation with blowing up planes..... why not just pick a softer target?

A shopping mall or community festival?

[BobandXiaomei 14]

Word this morning was that it was all much ado about nothing. No charges are being filed and no one is now considered to have been plotting any wrongdoings.

What that has to do with a mosque in NYC or Dallas or anywhere else isn't clear.

Don't give them any ideas.

because they are not logical thinking, rational, or intelligent human beings. if they were they would be able to read and understand the quran rather than relying on nutjobs to use them as puppets on a string.

Paul thinks all Muslims are potential terrorists and the only thing keeping us all from blowing up everything is that the mosque isn't built yet. It's like theChristian theory that the temple ruins under the Dome of the Rock must be rebuilt so that armegadden will begin.That's the connection between these guys and Park51, dig?

Oh shut up. So sick of your damn mouth. You seriously need to chill the hell out. Not everyone is a damn bigot. I get it. I know it effects you personally, but you seriously need to chill the hell out.

All I'm saying is THIS IS WHY people don't want it. Because THIS is all they see in the news. Of course you ignore every other damn post I say that I have said this.

"Understand the Quron" eh... Well let's take a quick look at the Quron and see what we get out of it. You are familiar with the "Hadith" yes ? Ok I'm no expert on the Quron so you might have to help me out with some of these quotes from Mohammed.

Mohammed said, "Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him." Vol. 9:57

"I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers are women. " Vol. 1:28, 301; Vol. 2:161; Vol. 7:124

"Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half that of a man?" The women said, "yes," He said, "This is because of the deficiency of the woman's mind. " Vol. 3:826

"I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and whoever says, " None has the right to be worshipped but Allah , his life and property will be saved by me." (otherwise it will not). Vol. 4:196

"The person who participates in (Holy battles) in Allah's cause and nothing compels him to do so except belief in Allah and His Apostle, will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward, or booty (if he survives) or will be admitted to paradise (if he is killed). " Vol. 1:35

Stop posting negative articles about it and maybe we'll stop having a clue about you. That idea about doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is applicable to your efforts.

Literacy would be helpful to yours as well.

I have said time and time again, and as was the point with this article, is the reason why so many people are opposed, is because THIS is what they see and only what they see in the media. Which is what most people use for their source of information.

You're right about not being an expert on the Quran. None of those quotes is from it. Do you really think that cherry picking quotes out of context and without validation is worth the time you took to do it? That can be done to any holy book. What's your religion? I can make it look silly and violent in a flash.

Are your Muslim "friends" as ignorant as you are, or do they get a kick out of letting you be ignorant alone?

No one needs you to tell us how slanted the media is. Why don't you tell them something different than the negative?
