Six armed officers surround the privileged fanatic who had tried to turn himself into a human firebomb aboard Flight 253 to Detroit.
A coat is draped around his legs. They were burnt when a package strapped to them caught fire as he tried to detonate it by injecting a liquid.
The would-be suicide bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, lives in a £3million Regency flat in London’s West End.
And it is from Mansfield Street that he is said to have planned the atrocity, which would have killed 277 fellow passengers and 11 crew.
Many more people could also have died if the Delta Airlines Airbus 330 had crashed to the ground, as he had planned, on its approach to Detroit airport in Michigan.
Abdulmutallab boasted to FBI agents as he was seized that he had been sent on his murderous mission by Al Qaeda chiefs in Yemen.
Last night he was under guard in a Detroit hospital as FBI agents, working with British Secret Service officers from M15 and MI6, were trying to establish if he was acting as a lone suicide bomber or part of a bigger terror cell planning more 9/11-style outrages.
Scotland Yard anti-terror detectives swarmed all over Abdulmutallab’s flat, nestled between Oxford Circus, Harley Street and the BBC headquarters in Portland Place, shortly after his foiled attempt just before noon on Christmas Day.
Abdulmutallab, who studied mechanical engineering at University College London from 2005 to 2008, appears to be an Al Qaeda sleeper who used family wealth to blend in with fashionable city life.
He is the son of a wealthy Nigerian minister and banker, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, just retired as chairman of the First Bank.
The father is reported to have warned both Nigerian and US security authorities about the threat posed by his extremist

SNORT.
And yet that lie keeps getting repeated over and over and over.
I think I've gotten emails from this guy promising me millions if only I would help him secretly launder some money out of Nigeria.
Supposedly they want to kill us for not believing as they do. Of course the truth is that even if the USA was (God forbid) a muslim nation, we'd still be on the receiving end of muslim terrorism. People are shocked to know that the largest group of people who kill muslims are other muslims.
Savages and civilized people simply cannot coexist.
To kill us.
The incompetence of Barack Hussein Obama and his Black Muslim Presidency:
1. Obama’s FBI did not alert the ARMY that Maj Nidal Hassan was a Muslim Extremist.
2. Obama’s State Dept did nothing to revoke Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab’s VISA after Abdul’s father told the US Embassy that his son was a MUSLIM Extremist.
Now this same incompetent Black Muslim Presidency want to manage our HEALTHCARE!!!!!!!!!!!
“And yet that lie keeps getting repeated over and over and over.”
...yep...it’s part of the impact that the Civil Rights movement had on American journalists...they’re obsessed with victimization and oppression.
....remember after 9-11 how the MSM harped on poverty and education in the Muslim world as the “root causes” of the attack?...completely ignoring that the attackers came from upscale Saudi families and several even had Masters Degrees!
Exactly. These enemies are very well "educated" and very, very wealthy. Osama Bin Laden himself was either a multi-millionaire or a billionaire at the time of the 9/11 attacks.
You are correct on the “cannot coexist” part of your comment. However, this is not a clash between savages and civilized people. This is a war between two civilizations; modern western civilization and medieval Islamic civilization. This war has been going on since the first Crusade (actually as far back as the Greeks and Persians)sometimes having gone dormant for a period and then resurfacing. This on-going war has resurfaced because Islamists perceive the west to be vulnerable (weak and lacking the will to fight) at this moment in time - which is correct.
Just our luck, only the nut cases respond to the million dollar offers and then they rule the world,...go figure ;^)
And didn’t the Brits tell the perp that he wasn’t welcome back last year?
Frank still hawking those tunes?
“”Now this same incompetent Black Muslim Presidency want”—The failed head of Chicago Schools to run the NATIONS schools — All hail Arne!!! And who was that 31 yr old kid running the auto companies??
Lagos, Nigeria is so hopelessly corrupt that it is laughable.
Wow! I think this terrorist's dad has sent me about 1,500 emails, asking me to be his business partner.
The Brits had enough sense to revoke his visa.
From an AP article this is how MSM is running cover for Obama—
“””U.S. authorities told The Associated Press that the suspect came to the attention of intelligence officials in November when his father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, went to the U.S. Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria, to discuss his concerns about his son’s religious beliefs.
One government official said the father did not have any specific information that would put his son on the “no-fly list” or on the list for additional security checks at the airport. Nor was the information sufficient to revoke Abdulmutallab’s visa to visit the United States. It was granted in June 2008 and valid through June 2010.””””
In so many words——yes we knew about him, but the father did not have enough information. yada,yada,yada
It is always someone else’s fault——is not that right Obama.
He appears to be an Al Qaeda sleeper? A sleeper? As in no one knew about him? Oh, so that’s how they’re going to spin it. Folks, you better start screen capturing again because the cover up has started. In the first five minutes of Greta last night the reporter-ette stated:
1) he acted alone - never mind that witnesses have already stated there was a guy with a camera. Remember, there was a camera man during the last dry run plane disturbance a few weeks ago.
2) We didn’t know anything until Dad reported him last month so we didn’t have time to open a file on him - Uh, no. We knew about him TWO YEARS ago and dad reported him to not just the US Embassy but to Abuja and Nigerian security agencies back in June (I think some source reported it as June 8th).
