Mounting evidence links UK to plane attack in States

THIS is the terrorist who tried to blow up a packed jumbo jet over America being seized by cops.
The dramatic picture shows Umar Abdul Mutallab moments after Northwest Airlines flight 253 landed safely in Detroit on Christmas Day.
As Scotland Yard yesterday swooped on a £4 million West End flat, US authorities named the 23-year-old as a rich Nigerian banker's son who studied at a London university.
Mutallab, burnt by what experts say was a "new type of explosive device" strapped to his leg, was foiled by hero passenger Jasper Schuringa.
US officials charged Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, 23, with attempting to detonate a bomb strapped to his leg - and activated with a syringe of chemicals - on the Airbus 330 flying from Amsterdam.
STUDENT DIGS? Mutallab's £4m London home Agents last night wheelchaired Mutallab into a conference room at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor - where he is being treated for burns - so he could be read the charges.
Judge Paul Borman asked Mutallab if he understood the charges. He responded in English: "Yes, I do."

U. S. okayed passenger list for plane that took off from Amsterdam to Detroit per Fox News (Greta)!
‘Fox said it was strapped to his anal area !’
If true, I dread the new precautions I will be put through when I travel next month!
SAT EVE UPDATE: U.S. Embassy in Nigeria was warned months ago by father of bomber
Prior to departing Amsterdam for Detroit on Christmas Day, the complete passenger list was submitted according to normal procedures for U.S. government authorities to scrutinize. While the accused bomber, Abdul Arouk Abdulmutallab was listed for the last two years as a person who was either involved in terrorism or had suspected ties to terrorist organizations, he was permitted to board the flight with a one-way ticket to Detroit. Part of the investigation into the incident will be to determine why he wasn’t on a no-fly list maintained by governments around the world.
Yeah, God forbid we should accidentally insult MUSLIM TERRORIST BOMBERS with incorrect descriptions!
“Better dead than un-PC” might be your liberal mantra, but it won’t fly here.
Beg your pardon? I don’t get your meaning.
That’s what happens when you don’t have Christ in your life.
BTTT!
This guy would be a man-caused-disaster-maker then, I suppose?
Why would the USA issue a visa to a guy who is on the terrorist list?
driftdriver call the hero Danish. He was Duth.
That’s a good one. I like Mark Steyn’s though- he’s calling him the Panty Bomber :)
Andrew Sullivan on his blog today:
It sure isn't poverty that forces these loons to do what they do. It's religion.
Yeah Andy. It's religion. Got to watch those church ladies. Got to watch those Salvation Army bell ringers. Got to watch it when you go in a Jewish deli in Boca, visit a Shinto Shrine or Buddhist temple.
Apparently that's what the Dutchman did.
and snapped his neck .
But unfortunately not that.
