Teen arrested after Twitter bomb threat─── 13:55 Tue, 15 Apr 2014
Rotterdam - Police arrested a 14-year-old Dutch girl yesterday after she tweeted a terror threat to American Airlines that catapulted her into social media fame overnight.
A Twitter user calling herself Sarah with the handle @QueenDemetriax_ tweeted the message "Hello my name's Ibrahim and I'm from Afghanistan. I'm part of Al Qaida and on June 1st I'm gonna do something really big bye" to American Airlines.
The company responded swiftly from their official Twitter account saying her IP address and details have been forwarded to security and the FBI.
The teenager turned herself in at a police station in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam on yesterday afternoon after authorities launched an investigation into her whereabouts. The girl has been charged with "posting a false or alarming announcement" under Dutch law, but the consequences of the accusation remain unclear.
Twitter has since suspended the account associated with "@QueenDemetriax_."
