Members of a federal task force late Tuesday arrested a former TSA screener who they accused of making threats against Los Angeles International Airport, including "unspecified threats" related to the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Nna Alpha Onuoha, 29, was taken into custody in Riverside before midnight by members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force with assistance from Riverside police officers, according to FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller.

Pending additional investigation, Onuoha will be held on suspicion of making threats, she said.

The arrest came after Onuoha allegedly made threats against LAX terminals earlier in the day following his resignation from his post as a screener with the Transporation Security Administration. Onuoha held the position since 2006 but had been suspended recently, Eimiller said.

Details about his suspension were not immediately available.

Eimiller said federal authorities began investigating Onuoha on Tuesday afternoon after he resigned from his job and allegedly left a suspicious package addressed to another employee at the TSA’s LAX headquarters. The Los Angeles Police Department’s bomb squad inspected the package and determined that it contained no explosives or harmful substances, she said.

The package, however, contained an eight-page letter in which Onuoha expressed his thoughts about the incident that led to his suspension and his disdain for the United States, Eimiller said.

Later in the day, she said, a man who federal authorities believe to be Onuoha allegedly called the TSA and instructed an employee to “begin evacuating certain terminals at the airport.” According to Eimiller, the caller allegedly told the employee he would be watching to make sure his instructions were carried out.

Federal authorities said the same man called the TSA a second time, again instructing that terminals be evacuated. Police cleared the terminals, but there appeared to be no threat to the airport, Eimiller said.

While searching Onuoha's apartment in Inglewood, members of the terrorist task force discovered a note taped inside a closet, Eimiller said. The note, she said, contained “an unspecified threat citing the 9/11/13 anniversary.”

Federal authorities then arrested Onuoha. It's unclear why he was arrested in Riverside, and further details about his arrest were not immediately available

Eventually, the notes will be twisted and re-edited to buttress their point!

The truth is, the man might just write his grievances their and nothing more!

this is silly. those TSA folks are just looking for scape-goat "terrorists" to show that they are doing their work.

"unspecified threat" my azz. aka all they are doing is probably finding terror where there is none. I'm sure anybody who mentions 9/11 in public can be arrested and charged for terrorism. esp if they are non-white or foreign.

the igbo guy's offense is probably simply that he got angry and was probably running his mouth and mentioned 9/11. grin

There was no where in the report , that they named Nigeria as his country of Origin.

Not everyone that has Nigerian name is a Nigerian. For all you care, he might not even have a Nigerian passport
Re: Nigerian In US Arrested For Making Terrorist Threat On 9/11 Anniversary by mekaboy(m): 9:45am On Sep 12, 2013
So, they guy has not committed any crime and will be let go. The guy wrote a letter to his colleague stating his grievance and they call it suspicious package? How can a letter become suspicious package?

Secondly someone called the airport asking them to evacuate, I am sure the person might be somewhere around laughing. No there is no evidence he made the call as it can't be traced to him.

The threat that was pasted in his wardrobe, with 911 to it. I wonder why they can't read the threat, or all the could see is 9/11.

They don't have a case. The only thing is that they said he hates the US which most US citizens say and its not a crime.

so you are implying that other tribes are terrorist with the exception of the ibo.u must be senseless.when muttallab was arrested, the hausas were stereotyped.when adebola was arrested in UK.the generallity of yorubas were termed terrorist. Now ibos are terrorising and u are talking rabbish.

Do you know what terrorism means? Show me an act of terrorism in the story that is directly linked to the man. The suspicious package is a letter which contains no explosive or harmful content. Mutalab had explosives.

Someone called and asked the airport to be evacuated, there was no bomb threat and the call cannot be traced to him.

The suspicious threat in his wardrobe they siad had 9/11 written on it and did not read the content of the note. So this case or guy has no act of terror linked to him.

Unlike the adebolaji who was found with a knife and gun and beheaded the soldier in broad day light. I don't support tribalism when crimes related to Nigeria are posted, but I will say that in this case, there is no act of terror related directly to the guy.
