bits44, it is not clear at all

why did the U.S. allow two terrorists to fly for another 7 hours in a 747 with 278 pax + crew??? There are many U.S. targets in Europe.

why were there no reports in the Dutch press that the inflight KLM-marshall arrested them???

why was there no military escort on the way back to Europe???

why were they not arrested in Holland???

Well the U.S. only has jurisdiction over their own airspace, and no jurisdiction over foreign flagged aircraft in International airspace. As far as being arrested in Holland, apparently they were detained for questioning and released. As the article states no names were released due to the fact they had not committed a crime nor were they arrested.

The Tehran Times publiced this: Saudi brothers on KLM jet took flight classes with 9/11 hijacker.

The U.S. no-fly list has grown from 19,000 names to 31,000.

Arresting in Holland?
They didn't have papers to be in Holland so the police escorted them to a plane to the UK.
From the UK they connected to another flight to........Mexico 8)
Did you follow the news lately? The last months the dutch judges released around 15 arrested terrorists due to a weak (legal collected) evidence!!!!
Almost all evidence (maps, videos, tapes, pictures etc) were found by the AIVD (dutch CIA) and this is no legal evidence in the view of dutch law 8O
So it didn't surprise me at all they were not arrested.
