How al-Qaeda airline fiend used leg bomb and syringe
The man who tried to blow up a US airliner as it prepared to land at Detroit on Christmas Day had an explosive powder strapped to his leg which he tried to ignite by injecting chemicals with a syringe, Fox News reports.
The 23-year-old - named as al-Qaeda-linked Nigerian engineering student Abdul Mudallad (alters from earlier spelling of Mudallah) - failed in his bid to achieve a major blast, but succeeded in burning himself seriously and inflicting minor injuries on at least two other passengers seated nearby on Northwest Airlines Flight 253.
Passenger Syed Jafri, a US citizen who was seated three rows behind the Mudallad, told the Associated Press he saw a glow and noticed a smoke smell.
Then, he said, "a young man behind me jumped on him (Mudallad). Next thing you know, there was a lot of panic.''
Another passenger said: "There was smoke and screaming and flames. It was scary''.
A spokeswoman for Northwest's parent company Delta said the flight, from Amsterdam, was carrying 278 passengers. They have been questioned by officials and their luggage - and the rest of the Airbus - has been screened for more explosives.....

Good thing this guy wasn’t carrying anything in a Diplomatic Pouch. THAT’s what they search at Schiphol.
On the down side, we're all going to have to take our pants off now at the TSA screening point.
Can't we just nuke the entire Middle east and save ourselves a lot of grief?
Thinking al-Qaeda-linked Nigerian Abdul Mudallad may have squirted water onto powdered Sodium causing the Sodium to spontaneously ignite. No 77 virgins and boys if he incinerated his gonads.
But then again it would be classified as an act of urban renewal in Detroit!
According to the family members, Mutallab has been uncomfortable with the boys extreme religious views and had six months ago reported his activities to United States Embassy, Abuja and Nigerian security agencies.....
Six months ago is June 25, 2009 during the first year of the reign of Barack Hussein Obama the Black Muslim.
This is the second incident where Obama the Black Muslim President overlooked reports of Muslim extremism. The other incident being Nidal Hasan.
LOL! I agree, the “crashing into Detroit” part of the scenario is the one I have difficulty with...
Schiphol hs some very one the ball tight security, I know. Very strange.
Thats what I was thinking, but that mixture wouldnt explode, just burn.
God forbid we should hurt him. A fat lip will land interrogators in jail these days.
He will probably sue the USA and wind up rich and on Oprah selling his book.
Schiphol has great security,better than any US airport I’ve been in.
Nice of you to tell the world that now
I’ve been to Schiphol a few times.
Just change the “p” to a “t” and there you have it.
Wehere are the beefed up air marshals these days? Anyone ever find out just how many air marshals are being used? Originally they had like 5 covering the whole world.
Well I honestly hope these terrorists are jumping for joy after reading my “How TO” post and follow it to the letter.
There is more damage done when people ignore the truth or try to cover it up with propaganda.
If it saves lives because now a lot of people are thinking “outside the box” it negates any harm by discussing it publicly in a forum, this is exactly how we wound up with Obama as POTUS, everyone thought discussing his Muslim background and origins as taboo.
And hence the problem. Muslims can't believe their religion in the cause for all these problems. My son is military, having spent time in Afghanistan already. Neither he or I trust muslims, yet my daughter says we're racial profiling (a product of Purdue U).
I say they all need to be deported back to the Middle East, every stinking last one of them.
I'm a ramblin' wreck from Allah Tech and a hell of an engineer
A helluva, helluva, helluva, helluva, hell of an engineer
Like all good jolly Muslims, for glory I am here
I'm a ramblin' wreck from Allah Tech and a hell of an engineer
Oh, if I had a daughter, I'd dress her in a hood
She'd blow a pizza parlor up like any good girl should
And if I had a son, sir, I'll tell you what I'd do
I'd put him on an airplane with a bomb inside his shoe
I know I'll see those virgins if they ever set me free
I hope I get to Gitmo.....I can finish my degree
Then I'll fly those friendly skies again and my family all will cheer
I'll re-plan a wreck 'cause I'm Allah Tech and a helluva an engineer

Note to clueless security agencies: put ALL people with suspected terrorist connections on the no fly list.
INSANITY on display for the world to see.
Hmph! There are precedents for these Jihadis being pretty doped up by the time their final moment arrives. Makes sense. It sounds like the guy was quite zoned out after the device went off (and probably before). Most folks would be screaming bloody murder with that going off in their lap.
If you're going to go to the trouble of financing, and planting a guy like that on a flight, you're going to want to make sure he carries through on the project. It is a small matter to load the guy up with “pharmaceutical courage”, and make sure he doesn't forget his religious obligations.
Of course, the guy could have been just plain psychotic. There are such people in the world, and some of them are Muslim Jihadists. Crazy? Yes. Gutsy? Mostly not, IMHO. It would be interesting to see what the drug panels are for this guy. In Iraq, at one time, they were doing drug testing on suicide bombers. There were quite a number of them that were pharmaceutically “under the influence”.
Another possability is Thermite
Sitting next to the wing/fuel tanks. Hoping for a catastrophic fire perhaps?
It can be ignited using the reaction between potassium permanganate and glycerol or ethylene glycol.
