Nigerians terrorists seem to be about as successful as Kenyan presidents?

Don't get complacent!

Some Nigerian terrorists know what they are doing.

This was actually reported yesterday in an interview from other passengers. Also was a thread here yesterday.

Is this a repeat of yesterdays news or is it about the jet that was surrounded today?

Isn’t Detroit rapidly becoming “New Fallujah”?

The recurring Nigerian scam emails could very well have been an AlQaida scam with the objective of teaching everyone to just ignore Nigerian claims.

I swore I was not going to get on FR repeatedly today...I had read all there was available on the first Nigerian would-be bomber and didn’t need to check on the news anymore...

succumbed to temptation when I came to the study to look up ‘the Master And Margarita’ on Amazon...

Thought, Oh Well, I’ll just check in for a sec...

And now a second Nigerian would-be bomber!!

god help us, every day there is something worse...

This just happened. A second plane. Apparently, the Nigerian flying from Amsterdam to Detroit on same flight number caused a verbal disruption & locked himself in bathroom. Left Nigeria with no luggage. That’s all I know at this time.

Looks like this is a new one:

DETROIT (AP) - A passenger onboard the same Northwest Airlines flight that was attacked on Christmas Day was taken into custody in Detroit on Sunday after becoming verbally disruptive upon landing, officials said.

A law enforcement official said the man was Nigerian and had locked himself in the airliner's bathroom. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.

Delta Air Lines spokeswoman Susan Elliott said crew members requested that security remove the man from Flight 253 after he became disruptive. The remaining 255 passengers got off safely, she said.

Airport spokesman Scott Wintner said it was the same flight on which a man tried to set off an explosive on Christmas Day.

"The pilot requested emergency assistance upon arrival," he said.

Security and airline personnel are on edge since the attempted terror attack on Christmas Day, and the law enforcement official said that lesser incidents had been reported on other flights arriving in Detroit, but the incident with the Nigerian man had sparked the most concern.

Well, maybe. Or TSA’s diligently locking the barn after the horse’s gone and the guy’ll turn out to be a Methodist missionary or some such.

Has His Regal and Magnificent Obamminess managed yet to take a few moments from his golf game to apologize to the Nigerian people for the unfair treatment obviously harmless tourists have been receiving at the hands of Michigan law enforcement? (Who are, of course, acting stupidly.)

Potlatch, good graphic of Napolitano! LOL.

That pretty much sums up her cluelessness on what's really going on here,
just like her statement on Nov. 8, shortly after the Fort Hood Terrorist attack.
