The United States has said that the Nigerian terrorist, Umar Abdulmutallab, failed to successfully carry out a bomb attack in 2009 because the explosives he was wired with became ‘degraded’ after he wore the same pair of underpants for two weeks.

Abdulmutallab had, at the age of 23, confessed to and convicted of attempting to detonate plastic explosives hidden in his underwear while aboard a Northwest Airlines Flight 253, en route from Amsterdam to Michigan, US on December 25, 2009.

However, United States officials explained that the bomb failed to detonate aboard the flight, which was carrying nearly 300 people, but caused a brief fire that caused burns to his groin.

He was sentenced to life without parole in February 2012 after he pleaded guilty to all charges on the second day of his trial the previous October.

The U.S. Head of the Transportation Security Administration, John Pistole, said during the week that the bomb failed to detonate because of how long Abdulmutallab had been wearing his underwear.

Pistole said, “The bomber had had the device with him for over two weeks.”

When he was then asked whether the bomb had become ‘damp’ Pistole replied that the explosive had become damp due to the length of days Abdulmutallab carried the device in his underwear.

During his trial, Abdulmutallab said the bomb in his underwear was a ‘blessed weapon’ to avenge poorly treated Muslims around the world.

However, after the bomb failed to detonate, passengers pounced on Abdulmutallab and forced him to the front of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 where he was held until the plane landed minutes later.

Damn!!. Some people dey try sha.

So wearing one underwear for two weeks can actually save lives? Thank God Abdulmutallab was a dirty boy!!!

Life without parole. . .sh¡t is worse than the electric chair or the noose.

There it goes people, never let the interpretation of your religion take away your sanity.

I think its more on the Muslims. They can kill freely, not minding that we are all humans...

Be sensible. Here is sb who alluded to brainwash some posts ago.

Anyone who takes another's life unjustly is not a Muslim, neither is he a Christian, AFAIK.

I try as much as possible to be objective and realistic in my comments. I say it as it is. Did you read the reason he gave for wanting to blow up the plane? I've listened to sermons from supposedly Islamic scholars especially after the Magrib prayer (I hope I got the spelling right) where the sermons centered on hating non muslims (this is not hearsay). For goodness sake, why should religious leaders preach that to their followers

Trust me when I say that its more from the Muslims angle...

The word Brainwash is succinct enough. There are evil people everywhere. Whatever you have heard those people say is verifiable. Get a copy of the Qur'an.

Lmao @ the nyggah wearing the same pants for two weeks as an excuse. Not buying that at all.javascript:void(0);

How about tell us how he was able to get on that flight at Schiphol airport(one of the most secured airports in the world) without a passport?

The more you look, the less you see.

Your same Quran commanded ur followers to strike an infidel by the throat surat Muhammad 47

It was probably an operation that involved cia.

America misleads naive young muslims to such attacks.

It's a designer's underwear.
Bomber boxers is the name.

Here we go again...
Denying the real issues and putting the blame on America.Haven't you read that he visited Syria and was trained by the islamist extremists there?

joudini: Life without parole. . .sh¡t is worse than the electric chair or the noose.

There it goes people, never let the interpretation of your religion take away your sanity.

life sentence without parole is worse than firing squad, he will never have a family ,come to think of it that his father is a billionaire in nigeria ,so even if his father dies he can't even spend his own share of his father money. I really pity his mother,it is a wound that will never heal in her heart

I have a copy of the Quran and I heard very well the sermons of those *supposedly* Islamic scholars. What I heard was what I posted earlier.

My earlier stand on the Muslim religion is still valid, at least to me...

Stink Bomb!

Does that mean it was a dirty bomb? lol on a serious note, strange how things work out sometimes - lives were saved due to his disgusting hygiene.

"Life without parole" - The USA certainly have sensible sentencing.

Dats why I get angry when dey say the cause of terrorism is poverty and illiteracy. This guy is neither poor nor an illiterate, osama too same thing.....most of dis people are very educated....the cause of terrorism is simply RELIGION. Simple

Lol. I'm not gonna be drawn into debating the Qur'an with you sir. Maybe that's reprehensible because I'd lose the opportunity to prompt thinking and maybe reduce the vitriol against my faith and maybe touch your heart (fat chance). However, I'm lazy. Maybe another time.

To help support your cause, paste 20 consecutive verses of Surah 47 here.

Enjoy brother!
