Me, you must be joking. This is the danger, I am talking about. During sept 11, Northerners were very happy for the bombing of the USA.  They even had posters of Osama all around. You see the danger, the need to remove them from nigeria. Nigeria is a high risk area favourable for  terrorist. The risk is high and the break up of nigeria now is very very important.
WDH are you talking about?

Where is our Septugenarian Alhaji to come and explain this

Very soon someone would say US planned this to discredit Islam.

Once again where are the followers of the religion of PISS

What has the US done to this guy that he wants to blow up people on xmas.

I am seriously praying that this guy is NOT Nigerian

What a shame, Now when anyone with a Nigerian passport boards a plane, other passengers would get off the flight in fear

Why is it a surprise that moderate islamists are not here in droves condemning this clearly "unislamic" act? Truth be told, moderate muslims fall in three categories

a. Uncommitted muslims

b. Committed muslims who live in nations with strict anti-terrorism laws

c. Committed muslims who are too cowardly to give their lives to the cause of allah.

Have u considered the embarassment caused by other southerners such as 419 and drugs, we are all at fault mate. I do agree terrorism is another scale on its own and something that is a horrible thing to be associated with.

@ Fl Gators

My last post was in response to Ohsisi and davidylan  saying no security checks at Schipol if you're in transit (pg 6). That made me wonder if they've stopped screening transit passengers before they board.

Will be interesting to see how he got on the flight from Amsterdam with his weaponry. Sadly, getting weapons aboard the Lagos flight must have been  a walk in the park.

That's also what I want answered.

How did he get inside the plane with a lighter. . . . and the explosive?

Oh yea, that is true. They dont get checked on the stop enroute.

But even if someone was to give the items to him, were they not also checked?

I mean, I know that they dnt sell those items in the airport.

I don't believe this dude is Nigerian. . . . .
Any slowpoke can get a Nigerian passport. It is less than $100 in Lagos.
Some twisted extremists might have bought a Naija passport. . . .they gave it to a retard and they gave him instructions.

Nigerians don't commit this kinda crime.
Not a credit card scam? Not a cheque scam? Not a Bank transfer schitzo? An Explosive?
It should be disregarded.

When the other plane in the USA went down I believe it was not just engineering problem. I know something was wrong.  I cant prove it, I believe something was wrong.

Nigerian man with 'links to al-Qaeda' arrested over US airliner bomb plot
President demands increased travel security after Christmas Day incident
(J.P. Karas/AP)
The suspect, Abdul Mudallad, was on Northwest Flight 253, owned by Delta

A Nigerian reported to be studying in Britain allegedly tried to blow up a transatlantic airliner on Christmas Day in what the White House called an attempted act of terrorism.

The suspect, claiming links to al-Qaeda, was taken into custody with burns after allegedly trying to detonate explosives on Northwest Flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit.

He was identified by ABC News as Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, an engineering student at University College London.

He was reportedly on a US intelligence “watch-list” but not on the US Government’s no-fly list.

A federal “situational awareness” bulletin said: “The subject is claiming to have extremist affiliation and that the device was acquired in Yemen along with instructions as to when it should be used.”

President Obama was notifed of the apparent attack while on holiday in Hawaii and received updates throughout the day. He ordered airline security to be tightened, particularly for in-bound flights to the United States.

The suspect began his journey in Nigeria on board KLM Flight 588 and made a connection in Amsterdam on to Northwest 253. According to ABC News his visa stated that he was travelling to the US for a religious ceremony. Initial reports were that he had lit firecrackers on board the Airbus 330, which was carrying 278 passengers.

However, a senior US counter-terrorism official said later that the man had actually been planning to blow up the aircraft but the explosive device had failed.

The aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing shortly before noon when a smoke detector alarm went off. Delta Airlines, which owns Northwest, said that a passenger caused a commotion as the flight was getting ready to land in Detroit. The man was subdued immediately, it said.

According to ABC News, the suspect told authorities that he had explosive powder taped to his leg and used a syringe of chemicals to detonate the powder.

Syed Jafry, of Holland, Michigan, told the Detroit News that he was sitting in the 16th row when he heard “a pop and saw some smoke and fire”. Mr Jafry said that people ran out of their seats to tackle the suspect.

Dawn Griffith, from Pontiac, Michigan, who was waiting to meet a passenger, told the newspaper that she saw a “young looking” man being taken from the airport handcuffed to a stretcher with his hands bandaged.

The Nigerian suspect suffered second-degree burns and was being treated at the University of Michigan Medical Centre, where authorities were questioning him. On landing, the Northwest flight was directed to an isolated part of the Detroit airport as police and firemen responded.

Passengers were interviewed by investigators as police wearing anti-bomb gear boarded the aircraft.

The White House last night described the incident as terrorism-related. “We believe this was an attempted act of terrorism,” a White House official said.

The apparent attack was reminiscent of the failed effort by Richard Reid, the British “shoe-bomber”, to blow up an American Airlines flight from Paris to Miami just before Christmas 2001 with explosives hidden in his shoe.

Passengers on that flight complained of smelling smoke. Reid was found to be trying to light a match, and was subdued by passengers so that the aircraft could land safely in Boston.

Reid pleaded guilty to terrorism charges and is now servicing a life sentence at the Super-Max jail in Colorado.

They do screen passengers but its only to verify passports and visas.
