DETROIT — A prominent Nigerian banker said Saturday he feared his son was the man authorities say tried to blow up a plane as it prepared to land in Detroit before nearby passengers — who saw a glow and heard what sounded like firecrackers — tackled him.

The suspect tried ignite the explosive device onboard a Northwest Airlines plane from Amsterdam just before it landed in Detroit on Friday, officials said. Travelers who say they smelled smoke and heard a popping noise said at least one man climbed over a seat and jumped on the man.

Banker’s son? But the leftoids tell us that terrorism is the result of poverty and despair.

And of course, George Bush.

I believe its the guys kid but this story sounds fishy. Dad apparently has tried to turn his kid in before. But wouldn’t you know if it was your kid? Perhaps the guy that tried to blow up the plane has the same name as your kid and he hasn’t called to wish you happy ramadan?
Dad is a good guy. Kid is a jerk off.

He believes his son is a terrorist, and he has his hands on the 7 figure bank account of a deceased American recluse. He just needs you to pose as the heir so he can move the funds out of the country, email him immediately with your:

Name
Date of Birth
Mother’s Maiden Name
SS Number
Bank Account Number(s)
Credit Information
