.."According to the family members, Mutallab has been uncomfortable with the boy's extreme religious views and had six months ago reported his activities to United States' Embassy, Abuja and Nigerian security agencies.

The older Mutallab was said to be devastated on hearing the news of Abdul Farouk's attempted bombing arrest. A source close to him said he was surprised that after his reports to the US authorities, the young man was allowed to travel to the United States."

So if this report is accurate, the State Department had information that this individual was a dangerous extremist and failed to act. Surprise. Surprise.

The father of the terrorist reported his son to the US authorities in Nigeria 6 months ago.

A source close to him said he was surprised that after his reports to the US authorities, the young man was allowed to travel to the United States.

London police searching his last known residence

From BBC:

"..Flats in the building sell for between £1.5m and £2.5m and residents are now asking how a student could afford to live in such an exclusive location, our correspondent said."

The terrorist’s daddy is a rich Nigerian banker who travels to the U.S. regularly.

“A source close to him said he was surprised that after his reports to the US authorities, the young man was allowed to travel to the United States.””

The problem here is our ‘authorities’ will do anything to avoid offending the ‘muslim community’.

Remember the 5 young islamists that recently went to Pakistan to plot our demise? The FBI is afraid they might offend the ‘muslim community’ if they press charges!

FBI walks tightrope in outreach to Muslims, fighting terrorism
Dec. 20 (by way of NAFBPO)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/19/AR2009121902019.html

[snip]agents and prosecutors facing a dilemma as the case has morphed from a missing persons investigation into a counter-terrorism probe. As U.S. officials consider whether to file criminal charges against the men and how aggressively to prosecute any potential case, some Muslim leaders are calling for leniency, saying the tough approach often used by the Bush administration would alienate a community whose relationship with law enforcement is uneasy.

“Charging them and throwing them in jail is not the solution,” said Nihad Awad, national head of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which approached the FBI on behalf of the families. “The government has to show some appreciation for the actions of the parents and the community. That will encourage other families to come forward.

The five Virginia men are U.S. citizens.”

But they SURE are not AMERICANS. They’re American hating anchor babies.

Sounds like he’s from a wealthy family.
The father tried to do the right thing.
It seems we screwed up.

I think we should ask Congress to shelve the Healthcare bill and all other bills and start an immediate investigation of this incident, with Lieberman heading up the inquiry.

The older Mutallab was said to be devastated on hearing the news of Abdul Farouk's attempted bombing arrest.

Notice the older Mutallab was upset by news of the arrest, not by news of the attempted murder of a plane load of people.

I don't know how a radical Nigerian Muslim was allowed to fly to the US. Someone in the US Embassy in Abuja must have messed up the vetting process. The north of Nigeria is Muslim; the south is Christian.

I guess this guy didn’t get the memo that George W. Bush is no longer President and the world loves us now.
