Abdul Mudallad (aka Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab), the 23-year-old Nigerian national charged with trying to blow up a U.S. airliner told the FBI that more bombers were on their way to target the U.S. This revelation has triggered alarm bell among U.S. intelligence and Homeland Security. In his words according to ABC News report, Mudallad told the FBI that “there were more just like him in Yemen and would strike soon.”
A tape released by al Qaeda in Yemen four days before Mudallad’s failed attempt, read: “we are carrying bomb to hit the enemies of god.” The group, known as Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, is the latest reincarnation of Islamic militant cells that have been active in Yemen for years. Yemen Islamic militants have supplied extremists to wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and to terrorist networks stretching from Africa to Europe. ( Continues below….. )

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has claimed responsibility for the attempted bombing of Northwest Airlines flight 253. According to a Yemeni terrorism expert, the group has roughly 2,000 members and sympathizers exploiting Yemen’s economic and political chaos to creating a base for jihad at the edge of the Persian Gulf.
Abdul Mudallad on Christmas day was subdued and prevented from blowing up a U.S. airliner by fellow passengers and the flight crew. Mudallad left Lagos, Nigeria on Christmas eve to the Netherlands where the next day in Amsterdam he boarded Northwest Airlines flight 253 bound for Detroit, Michigan, U.S. He was traveling one way, without a return ticket. The flight had 278 passengers aboard.
Twenty minutes prior to landing in Detroit, the cabin erupted with firecracker sounding explosion followed with smoke smell. A passenger climbed over others to confront the suspect while other passengers and flight crew rushed to assist him. The suspect was subdued with his hands, pants and legs burnt from the explosion. He was taken to the burn unit of the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor, 20 miles from the airport. A U.S. intelligence official said the explosive device was a mixture of powder and liquid that failed when the suspect tried to detonate it.
The explosive powder has been identified as PETN – pentaerythritol tetranitrate, which was concealed in the suspect’s underwear. According to reports, Mudallad told the FBI that he was trained for months in Yemen, given 80 grams of the explosive sewn into his underwear for activation in a U.S. bound plane.
Comments:
While series of measures are under way to curb the intended activities of the 'expected' militants, we should not readily forget that they are faceless, and as such, leave little room for their trackers to track them.
Indeed, terrorism is major problem confronting 21st century international relations. Whether attempts made so far to contain it (terrorism) have yielded anything fruitful is a matter of personal opinion. However, seems more logical that conclude that terrorism is here to stay.
You are only metarmophosing. I wish i could see you, i would give you judos instead of kudos.
They are evil, Monster and Bastard. treat them as they are.
i think this time the north should just go.Nigeria consist of three nations-the hausa,Ibo(biafra) and Yorubas.let this stupid terrorist find their way out,9ja is a loving nation and peaceful.
this stupid hausa boy just gave 9ja a bad image and reputation.
alone.Let him be roasted for example.
However, the father should be praised for alerting the CIA 2 months earlier. He is a very responsible father, statesman and a truly patriotic elder by any international standard who does not encourage or harbour any infidelity, even if it were from his blood.
therefore, Nigerians should stop saying that because he is an Hasua
and Islamic boy that is why he did what he did.
What he did is bad. It is not the parents that sent him. It is Nigeria the whole
world is calling terrorist not Hasuas. So let us stop generalising issues.
the simple fact remain that , U.S and its allied should stop envading muslims in Iraq, Afhganistant, Pakistan,
Somalia, Iran, Palastine e.t.c otherwise this is the starting point. Our counterparts (Christians) in Nigeria
are passing comment that is irritating and if you can retaliate you are right , but only if your fear of death is eliminated. Muslims
generally take death and life as the same, they are going hand in hand no matter your status thus, respect
among us is the only solution but not superiority and power.
at hand. The end of this system will be followed by a peacefull new world devoid of any form of violence.
In the main time, all are encouraged to pursue peace with their neighbours.
BACK TO HISTORY ALL CRIMES COMITTED INTERNATIONALLY WERE CARRIED OUT BY SOUTHENERS.DO THEY(AMERICA) RECOGNISED THEM AS SUCH NO BUT NIGERIANS SO WE SHOULD STOP MAKING AN INRESPONSIBLE ULTRANCES. THIS BOY SHOULD FACE JUSTICE LIKE ANY OTHER PERSON THAT COMMITS CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.
We should, in all standard, appreciate Farouk's father, in his wisdom. His timely intevention, by reporting his son's extreme religious activities to both the National and international security agences. This has shown that he is a father in deed. His early actions has saved Nigeria from a total shame and blame by the international body. Farouk's father should be honored in Nigeria as a hero, so that other fathers should emulate him and report any form or act of tororist tendences by their children, brothers, sisters or friends to the law.
Nigeria should learn a lesson from this evil attemp, and develope a strategy to guide against future occurance, instead of using this as a chance to blame one another, or create a good atmosphere that will give room for the Al Qeada to come in to Nigeria.
In my opinion, both the national and the international security bodies should be blamed for this, and not the Nigerian muslims.
Apparently, from what I hear in the media, this young man's father had alerted authorities about the behaviour of his son. Questions that should be asked in my opinion are "what did the authorities do with this piece of information?". As at today, it's emerging that the security authorities did indeed know about a certain Nigerian training in Yemen but did nothing about it. And just before you guys start questioning his father's role as a guardian, remember the young man was of adult age. I'm sure those of us that attended universities in Nigeria wondered what sort of parents had cultists as sons and failed to spot them. The heads of those cults usually were the most cultured people.
I guess what I'm trying to say here is; at a time like this when the name of our country Nigeria is being dragged in the mud, we should stand united and not make accusations based on our religion and ethnicity.
Some of these terorists use the name of religion to act so that they could get support from unreasonable fellow muslims. They are NOT MUSLIM, because they kill both Muslim and Christians, could someone tell me where it was written in Quran to KILL.
Let us reason together this issue is not a tribal or regional issue, is a 'Nigerian' The father of this stupid boy reported him to American Embassy, when the parents suspected his act of radicalism and extrimism.
If you notice any act extrimism do report immediately because these terrorist who can kill temselves could kill anybody. BEWARE BEWARE
I can only feel love for him because I am a Nigerian and Nigerians are loving people. And if I feel anything other than love for him, I will just be like him and that will make me non nigerian because We are a good people and we love people regardless of their ethnicity, nationality and religion. But that is not to say that I in any way applaud his cawardise. Though afer reading his postings on the net, I cannot but sympertise with foolishess and fruastrations.
The leadership of the country should ensure that our school system is at par with what is obtainable in other parts of the world.
Can you imargin the fact that the young man was sent to small Togo for his secondary education?
It is a pity nigeria.
I however think that Nasiru or whatever he is called should go to Yemen and be the next human bomb if he think that dying is a cool game.
If it were to happen, what would have been the response from all of us? Lets continue to praise the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, whether you believe in Jesus or not. The boy should be treated as the law of the land of Nigeria and US stipulates.
ISLAM IS A RELIGION FROM HELL THAT'S WHY THEY LOVE TO WHERE BLACK AND LOVES VIOLENCE THAT IS WHY THERE IS NO PEACEFUL ISLAMIC COUNTRY IN THE WORLD KILLING EACH OTHER ON DAILY BASIS. NIGERIA SHOULD BE DIVIDED FOR THE YORUBAS AND IGBOS TO GO .
Nigerian leaders need to be blamed for all these. We have been ruled by leaders that don't care about internal TERRORISM. What have the leaders done over all the incidents in the North? Nothing of course. It is time our bloody and useless leaders wake up to the fact that they are breeding internal TERRORISTS in the North of Nigeria.
Also, it is time for we Nigerians to recognise that the so-called TRIBALISM that has crippled our country is RACISM as seen internationally. This internal RECISM, so called TRIBALISM also breeds silent TERRORISM.
Nigerian government should wake up fast and resolve the Niger Delta crisis and kidnapping going on in the southern and eastern Nigeria, because these if not handled would also breed TERRORISM in the south, which would soon manifest GLOBALLY. As far as I am concerned the KIDNAPPING going on the south is an act of TERROSRISM.
It is really unfortunate I come from this bloody country of our called NIGERIA. If I can change my nationality to be an indigene of MARS I would do that.
enjoy killing any where they are established. This is shameful!
orising Nigeria. Please most of these guys doesn't value life. How many crisis have we recorded since year 2000... m
more tha twenty.
However, Faruk should not be killed rather be interogated very well and be used as a source of information.
Morealso, I blame US for poor security management.
Lets work it out. I am strongly behind every attempt to capture any terrorist.
saved all those passengers. It was the day He was born so NO WEAPON FASHIONED AGAINST HIS CHILDREN
SHALL PROSPER. OUR LORD JESUS HAS SHOWN THAT HE IS THE NAME ABOVE ALL OTHERS NAMES.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA>
if it means diving the country into 3 ethic Group we have and declare them a sovereign State. I will like it so much.
The root of all this Terrorism is Islams. i believe Nigerian Islamic heads has hands in this Terror.
Call me on my phone i will give you their name.
There will always be a bad egg among group. The cause of the problem is the nation that has let down its citizens- There is no assistance from the state (Nation) to parents. Parents neglects there children for the sake of money. This is a social problem and we can all solve this problem if we create and have time for our children. Stop neglecting your children. Stop looking after money, be closer to your children. Grow with the , let them have your values and mirrored into you. Stop the nanny stye life and the hostel life for your children. We have never had a responsible government in Nigeria. The politicians are selfish and greedythey serve no purpose to the people. Be wise.
a dissapointment to family members and friends. Well in life the unexpected
would always sets in. I strongly believe this would ensure a more proactive
measure is taken to curb forther menace. It strange, totally strange to our
culture. It must be discouraged in all ramification. If not, it may become
epidemic just like corruption.
Biafra is not a religionist country, but a Christian country.
with the UN and the US, whom they see as a big threat.
