A 16-year-old from Louisiana who allegedly plotted to hijack a plane was not planning to crash it into Miley Cyrus' Hannah Montana concert, as some outlets have reported, a FBI spokesman tells the Associated Press.

Authorities arrested the teen Tuesday after a flight from Los Angeles to Nashville. The teen had handcuffs, rope, and duct tape in his possession when he was apprehended.

A mock cockpit was also found in the suspect's home, the FBI spokesman said.

Authorities believe the teen, who has not been identified by authorities because he is a minor, was suicidal.

The teen – who could face federal changes including felony terrorism — is being held at a juvenile detention center.

(Cyrus was named Us Weekly's top Power Girl in its latest issue.)
