AirTran Removes Muslim Family from Plane
----------------------------------------



The airliner Air Tran has issued an apology to nine members of a Muslim
family who were removed from their plane and questioned by the FBI on
New Year’s Day. Air Tran refused to rebook the family even after FBI
agents said they had done nothing wrong. The nine passengers were flying
from Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. to Orlando, Florida.
