The 14-year-old who was
arrested this week for making terroristic bomb threats at American Airlines on Twitter has sparked a disturbing new trend online.
In what's assumed to have been some sort of joke, a Dutch girl named Sarah sent a tweet to American Airlines on Sunday saying she was an al-Qaida terrorist who was "gonna do something really big."

American Airlines reportedly notified the authorities and "Sarah's" Twitter account was immediately suspended. She was then arrested in Rotterdam on Monday.
Now, dozens of other supposed teenagers are tweeting terrorist threats at the airline.
Here are a handful of other tweets from users who have since been suspended:
