Puerto Rico man caught boarding plane with weapons

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) -- U.S. authorities have charged a man with attempting to board a flight from Puerto Rico with weapons including a stun gun, a switchblade knife and four box cutters.

Prosecutors say Jose Pol was passing through a security checkpoint at the island's main airport when Transportation Security Administration agents discovered the weapons in his carry-on luggage.

FBI spokesman Harry Rodriguez said Wednesday that investigators are trying to determine whether Pol has any affiliation with terrorist organizations.

Pol was scheduled to take a JetBlue flight to Boston when he was arrested on Monday. In addition to the knives agents found pepper spray and a flight simulator program in his luggage.

I posted this over on OTHER, because it isn't about illegal aliens, but you got here first so I asked them to delete mine.

I started to post it in "Other", too, but moved it to News because of the possible connection with terrorists.
