London police enter apartment of Nigerian PETN terrorist suspect Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab
Northwest Airlines Flight 253, which began in Nigeria before stopping in Amsterdam and heading to Detroit, was the target of a terrorist attack on Christmas day. Abdul Mudallad, a 23-year-old Nigerian claimed to be acting on behalf of al-Qaida when he attempted, but failed, to detonate a device that is being described as very sophisticated. The White House responded by increasing air travel security to the appropriate measures. Mudallad is currently in the custody of the U.S Customs and Border Protection.
Abdul Mudallad is claiming to have extremist ties and that he acquired the device in Yemen with instructions as to when the device should be used. He is known in counter-terror circles and is an Islamic extremist. We'll wait and see if the media tries to cover up his Muslim faith as they did with the Fort Hood shooter.
Witnesses on board originally thought it was a firecracker that was ignited in a pillowcase. Early reports indicate that one passenger acted heroically and leapt over seats to restrain the terrorist and incurred minor burns in the process. The flight landed safely in Detroit. No deaths were reported, but some passengers sustained injuries.
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security issued an intelligence report on November 20th about the possible threat during the 2009 holiday season from Thanksgiving to January 1st. The report didn't contain any specific threats, though, or plans by al-Qaida or other terrorist groups.
