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.

add me.

1st thing I thought after hearing this story, before any mention of the person who was attempting this was “I bet they are a member of the ROP.” Al-Qaeda? Looks like I was right.

[HiTech RedNeck]

He gets burns from the thing, but it doesn’t blow his leg off?

CNN just said the term: “Extremist group”
and again this term used on CNN.

I'd say it is too early to say individual, as my take is the explosive materials were placed on-board the jet by the MUSLIME ground servicing crew in Amsterdam.

Oh noz! It was just fire crackers and now its Al Queda..

Merry Christmas Barry, Enjoy surfin the waves.

[GOP_Lady]

Rep. Peter King on CNN now.

You are added, Blonde. :-)

The incendiary device failed to light the payload.

People can get taken off the lists now. The system was rife with snafus as it was. (One John Jones gets blacklisted and they all are.)

[Sir Clancelot]

Homeland Security has to be scrambling right now.

Or Janet Napolitano is planning on bringing charges on any passenger who participated in the subduing on the grounds that they were profiling anyone who yells Allah Akbar on a plane while trying to ignite something. Those passengers obviously just jumped to conclusions that the guy was trying to blow up a plane. They should have considered him innocent, until he proved he was guilty, which would have been actually blowing up the plane.

But a trial in Dearborn Michigan will at least include a jury of his peers.

Thankfully fumble bum got nervous and apparently messed the mixture ratio.

[HiTech RedNeck]

suuuure

[HiTech RedNeck]

Gotta lump those Tea Baggers in with those Al Qaeda bums.

[rebapiper]

Are you kidding, he hasn't the brains for anything other than being the puppet and mouth piece for his socialist,communist terrorist friends.
When 9/11 happened, Clinton,Gore,Chelsea,Greenspan and a fer others ALL FLED THE COUNTRY, thank God for Pres.Bush and VP Dick Chaney. Pres. Bush picked people with experience and knowledge knowing. Pres.was being set up and that's one of the reasons the Clinton and thugs refused to give up the White House right away. VP Chaney had to set up office else where in order to take over the responsibility of keeping this country safe. Treason was happening right before our eyes and they American people just kept right on playing the game, they stoled the election, they didn't shut their mouths until 9/11 happened.
The same Clinton thugs are in OUR White House again and obozo and Ciinton thugs will leave the country.
OBOZO HAS NO INTENTIONS OF KEEPING THIS COUNTRY SAFE, HE IS BRINGING THE TERRORIST RIGHT HERE IN THIS COUNTRY, IN NEW YORKK FOR A US TRIAL, AND THEY WILL STAY IN ILLINOIS UNTILL THEY CAN FIND A WAY OF LETTING THEM OFF SO THEY CAN ONCE AGAIN ATTACK US. The Illinois prison being bought or Terrorist or for healthcare offenders, if you don't buy their healthcare you will go to jail.
HEALTHCARE WILL SAFE MONEY, BRING DOWN THE DEFICIT, HEALTHCARE IS NOTHING MORE THAN THE RIGHT TO DIE LAW THEY COULDN'T GET PASSED, OBOZOCARE WILL BRING ON ASSISTED SUICIDE, MANY SENOIRS WILL DIE OF COURSE WITHIN THE NEXT 10 YEARS BUT HOW MANY WILL DIE AT THE HANDS OF OBOZO AND MURDERING THUGS THAT SIT IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND ARE ILLEGALLY HOLDING ON TO GOVERNMENT SEATS IN THE SENATE AND HOUSE. THERE IS NOT A BILL THEY CAN PASS THAT IS LEGAL.

Excellent assessment, S.C. The only coverage I can find is on the repulsive CNN, so I place little stock in whateve their ultimate spin is on the situation. They’ll find a way to PC all or part of it. Americans are ticked off, with hair-trigger nerves already, and the passenger who subdued this moron is to be highly commended for his immediate actions. Bottom line is that in many of these cases when all those multiple layers of security fail, our fellow vigilant Americans are our best defense.

I will give CNN a bit of credit they said “Attempted Terrorist Attack” and not “attempted man made disaster”.

[montag813]

Amsterdam to Detroit? You would be insane to ever take such a flight!

They ought to call it the Jihadi Express!

[driftdiver]

“Homeland Security has to be scrambling right now.”

They are all on vacation.

[yield 2 the right]

CNN said that term was said by White House officials, someone forgot to use the PC term “man made disaster(s)”
