How al-Qaeda airline fiend used leg bomb and syringe
The man who tried to blow up a US airliner as it prepared to land at Detroit on Christmas Day had an explosive powder strapped to his leg which he tried to ignite by injecting chemicals with a syringe, Fox News reports.
The 23-year-old - named as al-Qaeda-linked Nigerian engineering student Abdul Mudallad (alters from earlier spelling of Mudallah) - failed in his bid to achieve a major blast, but succeeded in burning himself seriously and inflicting minor injuries on at least two other passengers seated nearby on Northwest Airlines Flight 253.
Passenger Syed Jafri, a US citizen who was seated three rows behind the Mudallad, told the Associated Press he saw a glow and noticed a smoke smell.
Then, he said, "a young man behind me jumped on him (Mudallad). Next thing you know, there was a lot of panic.''
Another passenger said: "There was smoke and screaming and flames. It was scary''.
A spokeswoman for Northwest's parent company Delta said the flight, from Amsterdam, was carrying 278 passengers. They have been questioned by officials and their luggage - and the rest of the Airbus - has been screened for more explosives.....

No pics of this guy yet?...Let’s see if he fits the profile.
Another isolated incident I assume. Funny how many of them seem to have Islamic terrorist organization connections. Liberals are probably too worried about the atrocity of Christians wearing crosses in public to consider anyone else a danger.
Yeah, those non-chemical bombs are the ones that you've got to watch out for.
Other reports say he has a residence in Houston. The dude got around, and had to have some money coming from somewhere.
"Hey Joe, what's this funny thing this Mooslem guy's got strapped to his legs? I guess it's okay--I never seen nothin' like it before."
By now all the Muslims of the world are probably saying “how could one of our religious brothers have tried to kill all these innocent people”?
Well DUH... he's Nigerian. His uncle the former finance minister hooked him up.
I sometimes get emails from that guy.
The sources told CNN that the suspect flew into Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam on a KLM flight from Lagos, Nigeria, and is not believed to be on any ”no fly” list, although his name does appear in a U.S. database of people with suspect connections. He did not undergo secondary security screening in Amsterdam, an administration official said.
From the reaction of the mixture I bet it wasn’t meant to ‘explode’ as much as it was an incendiary device meant to hurl a burning plane at an American city.
This is likely the Muslim terrorist’s father-—

One guy was able to subdue the terrorist....
If it had exploded where it was intended to explode, I wonder if it might have have burned and crashed over the airport, taking out other planes and possibly the terminal (and in any case, lots of people).
Why are Muslims so ingenious in thinking of ways to bring death?
Lets "REACH OUT" to Nigeria with a NUKE!
Jasper Schuringa = hero
Yes He is and not a big dude at all. Lets hope the rag head burnt his package off. LOL
Has anyone speculated that the flight from Rio that crashed in the Atlantic a while back might have been broght down this way?
