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.

FYI: Air mileage Lagos to Amsterday = 3100 to Detroit = 4000

It’s only considered an act terrorism by the White House because it was averted. Fort Hood shooting of course was not terrorism since it happened on Obama’s watch.

A muzzie terrorist fails in his mission but manages to light his crotch on fire. BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER.

Noted!

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).

Are they "goat-raping islamic-dirtbag"

I sure hope our Homeland Security people don’t put panties on the terrorist’s head or give him a fat lip.

Chestnuts roasted, very fitting!

Sounds like numbnuts set himself on fire,got pummeled, then hauled off the plane with no pants.

You’ve got that right, RushIsMyTeddyBear!!!

[Lancey Howard]

I feel safer with Obama gone. The terrorists certainly aren’t afraid of him. I think they think he’s their friend.

Exactly. The terrorists know that if they succeed in an attack on America, Ubama will be secretly cheering inside.

[GOP_Lady]

Hopefully, they will play Obama reading his book.
