"This is a timely reminder, less than a year after Sep 11, that there are those out there who still try, and in this case, came very close to succeeding, to commit acts of terrorism in commercial flights."

The implication is that this was, in fact, a hijacking attempt, or something similar. If they were enroute to an Islamic conference, they would not have made it there had he/they actually hijacked the aircraft. So, what has been determined? Was this another 'error' by a stupid passenger (like that lady in the US last week), or, as Timzsta asserts, and ACTUAL terrorism event?
