Suspect in Michigan airport stabbing indicted
By Steve Friess | FLINT, MICH.
A Canadian man was charged on Wednesday with stabbing a Michigan airport police officer in an attack federal investigators are probing as an act of terrorism, according to an indictment filed with the federal court in Flint.
Amor Ftouhi, 49, of Montreal, was previously charged with stabbing officer Jeff Neville at the Bishop International Airport in Flint on June 21. Neville survived the attack.
Ftouhi has been held in detention at an unspecified location since his arrest.
On Wednesday, he was indicted on charges of committing an act of violence at an international airport and interference with airport security, acting U.S. Attorney Daniel Lemisch said in a statement. The charges carry a maximum penalty of up to life in prison.
Ftouhi will be arraigned in federal court in Flint on Wednesday afternoon.
