London Calling Terror Alert

 

Harraj is ordered off plane after he played cabbie punk anthem

By Jeremy Armstrong

 

A MAN was "frog-marched" off a plane on suspicion of being a terrorist - because he'd played the Clash song London Calling on his MP3 player.

 

A taxi driver called the cops after Harraj Mann, 24, played him the punk anthem, which includes the lyrics "now war is declared and battle come down".

 

He also played Nowhere Man by the Beatles and Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song, which includes the line: "The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands, to fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!"

 

Harraj said yesterday: "He didn't like Led Zeppelin or The Clash but I don't think there was a need to tell the police."

 

The cab was taking Harraj to an airport to catch a BMi Baby flight to London but the driver became suspicious about his passenger's choice of music and alerted the police.

 

By the time they acted, the flight was taxiing into position on the runway - so they ordered it back to the terminal and escorted Harraj off the plane.
