A 23-year-old Nigerian man tried to light a powdery substance aboard a Northwest Airlines flight before landing in Detroit on Friday, a senior U.S. counterterrorism official told NBC News.
Two people noticed the attempt and a third person jumped on the man and subdued him, an airline official told NBC News.
The man is being treated at the burn unit of the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor, officials said.
The man told investigators that he wanted to set off a bomb over the United States, and the incident is being handled as a possibile terrorism attack by both law enforcement and intelligence agencies, senior counterterrorism officials said.

You are correct.
It is former servicemen/women, Bible readers and Bible readers, people twho tithe, attend a church service at least once a month, ect. that homeland security is worried about.
I disagree. Quick trial by jury. If found guilty by fellow passengers, Captain pushes a stick and the accused and sentenced immediately departs the a/c via some sort of ejection device.
Yeah, over by the pre-paid phones. But you have to buy minutes for them or they expire. /s
I am sure by now the FBI has conclude not terrorist intent.
Reminds me of the scene in the movie of a Rosie O'Donut-produced documentary where the num boards a bus, shouts out, 'Hail Mary Full of Grace!" and yanks on her rosary to self-detonate.
Cheers!
...and Merry Christmas.
I will also bet the passenger that jumped the POS was a Conservative American who did not vote for zer0
You are right. How silly of me to even think something like that about those who consider themselves to be our lords and masters.
I live in Florida and they are going to charge us fifty dollars to renew our driver’s license and we have to have at least four different kinds of i.d. along with a social security card. This is, so they say, to make us secure.
I have a feeling it will be like that everywhere else.
Delta Airlines merged with Northwest Airlines back in 2007(?) and the DELTA name brand covers both.
I’m sure he must from the Christian area of Nigeria. /my sick sarcasm
Was this a different flight from the Delta “fireworks” reported earlier? If so, it seems coordinated to hit Christmas day.

An explosive device went off in the lap of a 23-year-old Nigerian man aboard a Northwest Airlines flight sometime before landing in Detroit on Friday in what is being viewed as a possible terrorist attack, a senior U.S. counterterrorism official told NBC News.
Detroit....Amish Country...right??
It was the same incident. The liberal media reported it as fireworks because they don’t want people to think it was a muslim terrorist attack on Christmas.
Now that picture just makes me ill. Lots of people wonder how long till the fall of the US? It fell a long time ago, we just are in denial.
Using your genitals to smother the flames... even Eaker knows better than that!
In his lap? I hope he is nutless. LOL
In his LAP???
Well, if it went off in his lap, I hope it burned his gonads off so he won’t be able to reproduce anymore little jihadists. As for those who jumped him, and assuming he was attempting a terrorist act, too bad they didn’t break his neck. That would’ve solved a host of problems, me thinks. However, the current government wouldn’t think so, would they?
