Abdulmutallab: Mujahadeen Will Wipe Out U.S.

DETROIT - A Nigerian man accused of trying to bring down an international jetliner with a bomb in his underwear walked into the start of his federal trial Tuesday and declared that a radical Islamic cleric killed by the U.S. military is alive.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's outburst came as jury selection got under way for his federal terror trial in Detroit, where the 24-year-old is acting as his own attorney and has previously told reporters they should stop reporting that Osama bin Laden was dead.

"Anwar is alive," Abdulmutallab said Tuesday, referring to American-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed last week by a joint CIA-U.S. military air strike in Yemen.

"The mujahadeen will wipe out the U.S. — the cancer U.S.," he added.

Abdulmutallab, a well-educated Nigerian from an upper-class family, was directed by al-Awlaki and wanted to become a martyr when he boarded Northwest Airlines Flight 253 in Amsterdam on Christmas 2009, according to the government.


Abdulmutallab, who complained loudly at a previous hearing about having to wear prison clothes, came into the courtroom Tuesday wearing an oversized prison T-shirt. U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds called a brief recess to allow him to change into clothes more appropriate for court, after acknowledging and denying his apparent request to wear a "Yemeni belt with a dagger."

Abdulmutallab later wore a long robe with a dark pinstriped suit coat over it, as well as a black skull cap.

The judge has denied several of Abdulmutallab's requests for the trial, including that the case be judged under Islamic law.

Abdulmutallab has pleaded not guilty to eight charges, including conspiracy to commit terrorism and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. The government says he wanted to blow up the plane by detonating chemicals in his underwear, just seven minutes before the jet carrying 279 passengers and a crew of 11 was to land at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

But the bomb didn't work, and passengers assisted by crew members saw flames and pounced on Abdulmutallab.

The failed suicide attack, the first act of terrorism in the U.S. during the Obama administration, revealed the rise of a dangerous al Qaeda affiliate and al-Awlaki's growing influence.

The government says Abdulmutallab willingly explained the plot twice, first to U.S. border officers who took him off the plane and then in more detail to FBI agents who interviewed him at a hospital for 50 minutes, following treatment for serious burns to his groin.

Abdulmutallab told authorities he trained in Yemen, home base for Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. He said he was influenced by al-Awlaki, who was killed Friday by an air strike that President Barack Obama called a "major blow" to al Qaeda's most dangerous franchise.

Following the strike, a U.S. official outlined new details of al-Awlaki's involvement against the U.S., including Abdulmutallab's alleged mission. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, said al-Awlaki specifically directed Abdulmutallab to detonate an explosive device over U.S. airspace to maximize casualties.

Osama bin Laden appeared in a video declaring Abdulmutallab a "hero." Abdulmutallab also has been lauded by al Qaeda's English-language Web magazine Inspire, whose editor was killed along with al-Awlaki.

After the outburst about al-Awlaki and flap over Abdulmutallab's clothes, jury selection got under way in earnest, with most questioning done by the judge and attorney Anthony Chambers, who has been appointed to assist Abdulmutallab.

Abdulmutallab, who had suggested he would interview some prospective jurors and could give his own opening statement, calmly questioned one woman who indicated she had concerns about retaliation for serving on the jury.

The woman remained in the jury pool, but several others were immediately dismissed after saying they could not be impartial.

Someone should wipe him out. Turn him into a red smear on the cement.

@ekt

Why are you asking for extra judicial murder, he should just be sent away for a long time, let him be doing his jihad in solitary confinement.

What a pity!! This guy is definitely a victim.

Just when i thought i have seen and heard it all, this dimwit comes out with his Mujaheddin rhetoric.

This guy need to be admitted in psychiatric ward.

Destroy the US? The Congress has come way closer than the Mujaheeden ever has.

c dis small bwoi trying 2 play smart. . .acting like he is mentally unstable

meanwhile his family in Nigeria are carrying on like nothing has happened. One wonders if the SS have his father and the rest of the family under observation. Or are we going to claim his case is an isolated one ?

America is indeed the land of freedom. Can he say this in China, or even Nigeria his own country?

Is BOKO HARAM not enough to keep SS busy instead of keeping an eye on the father?

Poor stupid boy, with all that expensive education, look at where he ended up.There are millions out there who would wish they had it all rosy for them. If he was streetwise, he would not have being easily brainwashed.

Abdull, abeg becareful make them no come wipe us in Naija, the one wey boko  dey wipe still dey wipe tears commot for our face, dem turn Goodluck to Badluck , dem make me remember when fish chop Jonathan for bible, na the time we dey now, I hope the Boko haram fish wey swallow Jonathan go vomit am soon,make him deliver the message he was sent to deliver for naija

He is only doing what the Quran says and following Mo's example.

Besides his Dad is also a Jihadist enabler and Sharia promulgator !!!!

The worst thing that can happen to any country, is to have a handful of her citizens radicalised in the violent Islam.

Dear Nigerians, the worst is yet to come!

What freedom has Islamic States given to her women? It is Islamic States that has made their women slaves, and you know it. Women are treated like--just as you said it--slaves in Islamic States.

By denying women the right to vote!

Denying women the right to drive a car!

Denying women the right to decide whether they want to wear a barca or cover their head!

Denying women the right to open bank accounts!

Denying women the freedom to speak freely and pursue the profession of their choice.

Sharap and be truthful for once.

There is no other country on earth like America where you experience freedom. Can Christians freely and openly practice their religion in Islamic States? Hell nah!

The U.S. killed Osama Bin Laden and Al Al Alwaki, and they will keep killing all the terrorists who kill, attempt to kill, or conspire innocent people.

You have spoken the truth as it is. Islam as a religion belongs to the cave man.

He needs to pay you for this lecture.

Please somebody tell America to hand that little boi to us to amend him, we will handle him better,

I strongly believe that this guy is suffering from insanity. He should be examined thoroughly.

I now belief this boy is really mad or may I say he is already an "Alien in human flesh>"

This life is funny. Most times, rightly so, whatever we wish unto others end up happening to us, our close ones and relatives.

Desert illeterate,
He claimed Osama is alive.
He claimed Al-wakili is alive.

When it is glaring they are all died.

It shows you people are desperate to deceive other people just to send your lies and propaganda across.

America is a symbol of freedom. You are free to do anything, so far its legal. Can you do anything in Nigeria or Iran ?

@Abujabir24

You remembered the call you had 3 weeks ago on Wednesday precisely.

I promise you we will catch up on you soon. now we have so much information about you and your link to extremist. For security reasons i will not mention names here but that guy you always speak to on phone has been taken in for questioning and has given so much facts about you.

bet you real soon you will be in.

Fu.king Extremist

This life is funny. Most times, rightly so, whatever we wish unto others end up happening to us, our close ones and relatives.

Yes you are right.

Al-wakili wishes is to kill Americans but Americans killed him.

Abdulmutallab did not want to live, if that bomb had gone off him and other innocent passengers would have gone.

 Americans are just treating him like a human being, he should have been shot even b4 he step his foot into court.

Ed, nobody wants to be judged solely on the basis of what a black sheep in the family chose to do, people should be judged as individuals. The pain of being kindred with someone like this is already more than enough punishment for any mistakes in his upbringing. Leave the family be abeg.

He should be recycled to manure.
