Man on Flight to Detroit Claims Al Qaeda Ties; Obama Tightens Security

DETROIT -- A passenger on a Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines flight tried to detonate an explosive device that was strapped to his leg and later told investigators that he was trying to blow up the plane and had affiliations with al Qaeda, according to a senior U.S. official.

The man, who has not been publicly identified by officials, told investigators that he was given the device by Al Qaeda operatives in Yemen, where he was also given instructions on how to detonate it, the official said. The Associated Press reported that Rep. Peter King (R., N.Y.) has identified the man as a Nigerian named Abdul Mudallad.

No worries America, the crack team Reid-Obama-Pelosi "Representatives of Peace"TM, have taken swift action...

The terrorist has been assigned the best ACLU lawyers and told for heaven's sakes to remain silent (so that other airliners with terrorists can rest easy). The terrorist has been reassured that there are no waterboarding experts in the Obomber administration. Merry Christmas.

Well, it smells of an individual instead of a team effort...Like the shoe bomber shlup that got caught in a similar situation...

What the government has gotten back to a pre-9/11 observance and attitude, it will once again be up to folks like us to maintain vigilance dispite the feckless efforts of policy makers...

We have to be right 100% of the time...The bad guys only have to be right once...

ABC News named the suspect as Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, who was said to be an engineering student at University College of London.


Sounds like a Muslim Terrorist to me.

Oops-—I should not be pre-mature in judging.

Maybe they’ll try him at Ground ZERO.

Or, the ground zero of Dearborn, Michigan.

Wonder how long and how much balderdash it will take before the truth comes out about this guy (and others?) made it through holiday security.

Sounds like security was tight according to a passenger who’s talking on Fox right now.Except for the fact he was on the No-Fly list and had some kind of explosive device on his carry on/person. Somebody really dropped the ball on this one.

You people I swear...It was all a misunderstanding. What’s more important is the Climate, national health care, and wealth redistribution...all of which will eliminate the real terror....America./s

There are no terrorist in the United States. George Bush is just fear mongering. Michael Moore told me so.

Every article I've seen so far makes no mention of two key words. Can you guess what they are?

 

 

 

 

 

 

  OK, I'll give you a hint. They start with "jihad" and "muslim" (or "moslem" or "mohammaden" or take your pick).

I love the part about him being immediately subdued by passengers. WOnder how bad he got his ass kicked?

Anyone remember those two idiot college kids aboard that American Airlines flight from Chicago to Dallas some months after 9/11 who started playing games and packed themselves into the planes bathroom refusing to come out.

Acting on a request for help from the Flight Attendants several rather “large” male passengers tore the door down and... ahem, “subdued” the two.

Fox News showed their booking photos the next day and it was clear they got the tee total hell pounded out of them.

No need for Air Marshals!

The alleged potential man-caused disaster is probably another case of racism and we will shortly hear from CAIR./s
