Dutch teenager impersonates terrorist

A 14-year old Dutch girl has made life difficult for herself after impersonating a terrorist on Twitter on Sunday. She may get the FBI knocking on her door after she threatened American Airlines, the Daily Mail reports. The girl tweeted to American Airlines from her account @QueenDemetriax_: "hello my name is Ibrahim and I', from Afghanistan. I'm part of Al Qaida and on June 1st I'm gonna do something really big bye." Even though the girl, Sarah, meant it as a joke, American Airlines took it seriously, tweeting a reply: "Sarah, we take these threats very seriously. Your IP address and details will be forwarded to security and the FBI." Sarah sent several tweets back to the airline, apologizing profusely, but to no avail. The tweet-interaction went viral. The American Airlines reply was re-tweeted over a thousand times, and Sarah's account got many followers. Her tweet has since been deleted, the Daily Mail reports.
