Why would an al-Qada operative want to blow up a plane bound for Detroit? Isn't that their operational headquarters?

It appears that the intent was to blow up the aircraft as it was flying over US airspace, but the guy couldn't get his firecrackers to light up at the time (somewhat a repeat of Richard Reid, the shoe bomber)
