Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the man charged with the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Airlines flight 253, has told FBI agents there were more just like him in Yemen who would strike soon, according to an ABC report today.
Disturbingly, just four days before the terrorist act against the Northwest Airlines plane, the leader of al Qaeda in Yemen boasted of what was planned for Americans, saying, "We are carrying a bomb to hit the enemies of God," according to the ABC report.
It’s now clear that this wasn’t some psycho nuctcase. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was carrying a sophisticated explosive, and the only reason the jet and all aboard weren’t obliterated is because the bomb's detonator did not work.
Another disturbing dimension to this case is that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab isn’t some Gaza youth starved and bombed into madness by Israel and willing to try anything with nothing to lose. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is a rich child of privilege.
The most unbelievable part of this terrorism story is that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s FATHER was so worried about his son's growing radicalization he actually alerted the U.S. embassy in Nigeria that his son could be a threat to America!
Abdulmutallab was put on a terror watch list but he was not put on the no-fly list (feeling comfy flying now, knowing this insane dichotomy?) and his U.S. visa, which he obtained a year and a half ago, WAS NEVER REVOKED! It was this visa that he used to board the flight to Detroit Christmas morning.
