"Maybe he was looking for the bathroom"

The family of the Yemeni who tried to break into a cockpit yelling "allahu akbar" said that "maybe he was looking for the bathroom".

I know everytime before I use the bathroom, I ram the door full steam while yelling the allahu akbar war cry. Daily Mail

The Yemeni man who was wrestled to the floor after pounding on the cockpit door of a plane approaching San Francisco may have mistaken it for the bathroom.

Rageit Almurisi cannot speak English very well and could have misunderstood the signs inside the jet, his cousin claimed.

The maths teacher, who was heard yelling 'Allahu Akbar' as he allegedly battered the door, had also only been on three planes in his life and would have been unfamiliar with the layout.
