Not really a surprise, however, how can you get multiple entry visas, as the SRM claiming, if you don’t have a Passport???

According to the Nigerian aviation authorities, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had his passport when he boarded the KLM flight from Lagos to Amsterdam:

From AFP: Suspected US plane bomber identified by Nigerian father (26 December 2009):

The director general of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Harold Demuren, told a news conference Saturday in Lagos that the suspect "boarded KLM flight out of Lagos on the 24th December, enroute Detroit, Michigan, USA, via Amsterdam."

"The e-ticket was purchased from KLM airport office in Accra on 16th December 2009," he said.

The suspect personally checked in at 20:35 pm (1935 GMT) and he went "through a normal checking process. His passport was scanned, his US visa was scanned and the APIS (Advance Passenger Information System) returned with no objection," he said.

His Nigerian passport, issued on September 15, 2005, would expire on September 14, 2010. His multiple US entry visa, issued in London on June 16 last year, would expire on June 12 next year, he also said.

I think this story may not pan out.

It's really hard for me to believe this. I've always had to show a passport to board an international flight. NWA wouldn't do this because he'd be denied entry and they'd have to take him right back. I'm guessing the witness misunderstood what was taking place.
