Breaking: Attempted Christmas Terror Attack Tied to al-Qaida
by PubliusFrom the Associated Press:
U.S. officials say a Northwest Airlines passenger from Nigeria said he was acting on behalf of al-Qaida when he tried to blow up a flight Friday as it landed in Detroit.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., identified the suspect as Abdul Mudallad, a Nigerian. King said the flight began in Nigeria and went through Amsterdam en route to Detroit.
One of the U.S. intelligence officials said the explosive device was a mix of powder and liquid. It failed when the passenger tried to detonate it.
The passenger was being questioned Friday evening.

We’re a little confused by this attack. George W. Bush is gone, so the world should love us again. Plus, Camp Gitmo is closing. What else could these terrorists want?? Maybe this terrorist simply saw the attack as a way to relocate to Northern Illinois.

Thank God, this idiot couldn’t detonate his bomb. We are at war with Islamo-Fascist whether Barry and the left like it or not.
We’re a little confused by this attack. George W. Bush is gone, so the world should love us again. Plus, the closure of Camp Gitmo has been announced. What else could these terrorists want??
He was from Nigeria he probably didn't hear that yet.

The flight was on its way to Detroit.
Coincidence? Who knows, yet.
I just hope that our FBI, DHS, and CIA haven't been so neutered by political correctness (Ft. Hood, anyone?) to investigate links between the terrorist scumbag and those on the ground who may have encouraged or cheered for him.
Is that too politically incorrect for the era of hope and change, and Holder's "post-racial" world?
An attempted terror attack by a jihadist on a flight landing at a major airport close to the highest density of insular, non-assimilated Muslims in the country warrants thorough investigation. Does our government have the guts to look into the hate-spewing Imams in that area?

Just a little more "man made disaster" by the religion of peace. See how easy it was to clean all that up using "New Speak"
Was he on the do not fly list? That list seems to be meaningless anymore.
another merry christmas from hussein
This unremarkable piece of human trash from whereever is doing his part to reduce
carbon emissions by the airline industry. It would appear it is safer to leave the
USA than to enter it. These Islam/muslim terrorists should be considered dangerous, high risk and
detained until, individuals,are proven safe enough to allow to travel across the street. Nevermind across
the country or world. I await, unfortunately, the mother of all disasters to finally push PC out of the process and be serious about the safety of this country's citizens.
The local news creatures here slipped up and called the "passenger" a terrorist.
Yep. On the DNF list; which acronym can now stand for "did not finish." Heh.
Dearbornizstan you mean….
It WAS reported that he WAS on the DNF list… It SCREAMS the question… Why tha phuck was he allowed to fly ?? Another epic failure by the ObamaPOS administration. Another of Barry's Muslim POS countrymen ! It was also reported on AP that Janet "tuna snapper" Napolitano was "on the case". Boy ! Do I feel safe and secure now.
This is out of control ! Time is drawing nearer…. Obama is one lucky SOB that this Muslim asshole did not succeed. You PATRIOTS know what I mean…. And he wants these wonderful countrymen of his in Thomson, Illinois. I bet you Thomson citizens are enjoying the POS hope 'n changey thingy even more now!
That Obama, lucky for us he anticipated something like this happening, judging by the following Executive Order he signed on law the day before yesterday;
Executive Order — Amending Executive Order 12425
EXECUTIVE ORDER
- – – – – – –
AMENDING EXECUTIVE ORDER 12425 DESIGNATING INTERPOL
AS A PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION ENTITLED TO
ENJOY CERTAIN PRIVILEGES, EXEMPTIONS, AND IMMUNITIES
What this means;
This now says that Interpol is no longer subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Their premises or staff can no longer be searched either. Their files are not subject to legal subpoena or discovery. Our government could just hand documents and files over to Interpol and Americans would no longer have access to them. Interpol can legally keep files now on all citizens of the US with no right to redress.
The Wookie in Waikeke ?
let"s not jump to conclusions!
This administration is a joke .. It's getting closer and closer to something big happenign .. I mean when peole can walk right intothe white hosue – when you can fly Air Force One over manhatten,
hang on folks !! This whitehouse can't stop anything ….
Remember everyone – Don't Profile !!!!
Big Hugs for everyone !!!!
GITMO to America – yeppie !!!!!
How politically correct of you. He was already on the DNF list. There is only ONE conclusion. Pitiful. And if he had succeeded you would issue the same "wait and see" attitude ? As we cleaned up our dead citizens and started the heart-wrenching job of identification ?
Janet 'Dead eyes' Napolitano will surely solve this mystery of the Detroitistan distraught Lions fan. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along please. The Nigerian just needs a little councelling.
You DO make a valid point about the Lions…..
Terrorists need love too! Hug a terrorist and throw conservatives in jail for not having Obama Care!
Shhh.
It is impolite to call them "Terrorists".
They are simply misunderstood Islamofascist Militants, not really much different than the Liberal Fascist Militants in the CONgress and the Senate who seek to destroy US
huh?
The War On Terror was lost when the Twin Towers collapsed while the Arab / Muslim world was allowed to continue standing for one more second. It went from bad to worse when the US did not close its borders immediately, or immediately after mass deportations of all arab / muslims who had not lived in the US (or preferably all of North America) for at least 40 years.
Never mind Islam being hijacked (if you're stupid enough to believe that lame excuse); what has really been hijacked is Western Civilization, by the idea that any of the myriad cultures that populate North America are somehow equally valid to the manifestly superior culture of economic and political liberty as laid out in your Founding documents.
Long before I ever heard Rush say it, I asked a friend of mine how it could be possible for the US to have achieved all it has in a little over 200 years while all these other gutter cultures achieved precisely zero?
Teddy Kennedy took his own personal feeling of uselessness and inadequacy (the only thing he was ever right about) and hijacked America via his 1965 Immigration Act. Only by dragging down the greatness of America could he ever have any sense of self worth–he obviously intended to make sure there were not many people greater than him so that he would seem greater than he was (think Ellsworth Toohey or James Taggart). Worthless Massachussett liberals felt the same way, that pulling themselves up was harder than dragging others down.
In doing so, the groundwork was further laid for similarly useless Americans to welcome the globe's worthless bottom feeding parasites. The 20th Century Motor Company was handed to the heirs of Jed Starnes.
Meanwhile, no groundwork has been laid to even rebuild two skyscrapers, not to mention a fence to keep out the hombres. 2010 is going to be THE pivotal point in the history of the US; you will either remain Atlantis–the place where productive people can gather, knowing that they will prevail–or the lights will go out, not just on New York, but on the very notion of individual liberty.
One more addition to my previous list of things a GOP congress needs to do if elected in 2010 (perhaps we'll have to wait until Marx is defeated in 2012): Defund the UN, then cease all foreign aid. If those cultures are in fact superior, they will have no trouble continuing to eat when someone else isn't providing their food.
The Moocha Militant Muslim in Maui…..
ahem, it's a little worse than that you may want to look at the post a few entries above
"It might be safer if Muslims just packed up and left our borders."
Quite frankly, they shouldn't wait, nor take the time to pack. There is no time like the present……..
We need a Maui tsunami. Seems the ring of fire is pretty active in the Pacific, so another earthquake is only a matter of time. That is if God is listening and wants to play chess with Lucifer.
We’re a little confused by this attack. George W. Bush is gone, so the world should love us again. Plus, Camp Gitmo is closing. What else could these terrorists want?? Maybe this terrorist simply saw the attack as a way to relocate to Northern Illinois. (courtesy of Publius)
I am scratrching my head also!
Is it really so surprising that a terrorist on the Do Not Fly list can fly into the USA, when uninvited guests to the White House can get within anthrax distance of the POS. I mean POTUS.
As reported FOX news …….The suspect, who ABC reported suffered second-degree burns, (told federal investigators)… " he was connected to Al Qaeda", THOUGH AUTHORITIES ARE QUESTIONING THE VERACITY of that statement, Fox News confirmed.
WHat do thay have to question. The Perv is an ISLAMIST JIHADIST. I AM Screaming He is An ISLAMIST TERRORIST. THE SAME THING AS THE COWARD FT. HOOD MURDERER IS A TERRORIST. i WILL NOT SAY HIS NAME I DONT WANT HIM TO BE MARTERED. I WILL NOT CAVE TO THE CAIR. THEY DESERVE NO IOTA OF RESPECT JUST AS PALISTINIANS, HAMA DESERVE NO RESPECT. tERROIST ALL
Perhaps hew got by while TSA was giving a rectal exam to a crippled blue-haired granny from Minnesota. Then again, what Minnesota just sent to the Senate, it mightn't be a bad idea…
Wow, Al Queso is really getting high tech, eh?
Buy another box or two of ammo. It's not like you can depend on the Federal Government to protect you and your family these days.
Oh, and if an Interpol type comes to your door, do not let them in, do not answer their questions. I am curious, though. Say Interpol comes after George W. Bush on some kind of warrant, say from our good friends the Saudis or that loony Spanish judge that keeps signing warrants for folks who have never so much as set foot in Spain. What does the Secret Service detail do?
But fortunately they confiscated my grandmother's shampoo.
Have any of y'all ever noticed, or wondered, why no Methodist or Protestant by the name of Smith or Jones never tries to blow up a jetliner enroute to Lagos, Nigeria or some othe Third World shithole?
It must be me, but I think there simply must be a conspiracy against our little brown brethern……….
I think Delta Airlines actued stupidily !!!
Yea say that to the guys in the dinggy boats hijacking oil tankers…
BLOW THE MOTHERS F'ers OUT OF THE WATER !!!!!!
Just think if this terrorist had been competent. We might be reading about a blown up skyscraper in Detroit instead of this fool with burned hands.. We still do not have what it takes to stop Islamic terrorists and with the present administration's timid attitude towards Muslims and islamists it will get no better. These people hate, detest and loathe us and before the end of this year I look to see the U.S. get hit again.
Everyone needs to relax.
I just heard on MSM that Barry is on top of this, like white on rice. That makes me feel better that they reported he is taking a personal interest in this. Probably wants to make sure none of his kinfolk are No Fly List.
Did Barry forget to bow to somebody…?
No time for Church either !!!!
Christmas miracle.
Martial Law does override the Constitution.
The New Peaceful Masque is going up next store to the Twin Towers !!!! Yee haw !!!!
Peace Love and harmony
I think I'm heading over to IRAN tomorrow to preach Christianity and open a church … Who's coming with me ?
That should prove interesting.
Take out a extra large insurance policy on yourself before you go, and list me as your beneficiary.
Why do we always have to be "the bad guy" ??? If you ever open your mouth aganist this crap we bow down and become the bad guy… I swear we need to round up most of this MSM and send them over to IRAN … See hwo far they get …
This Al Qaeda subhuman should have everything he knows waterboarded out of him and he should be executed by the end of next week.
We have Marxist in the WH.
Communists in the Senate.
Jezebel herself running the House.
Jehadists amongst us on the ground and in the air.
I think that we have stored up enough ammo to handle this ourselves.
I am waiting on orders from Cowboy.
The Marxist cowards running our country may not realize that we are at war with Islamic extremists, but thank god the vast majority of Americans haven't bought into this stupidity. For eight years GW kept us safe, and if not for a few aware and couragous Americans onboard this Delta flight we would have 278 people blown to pieces. Congrats Commissar World Leader Obama, it only took you one year to undo all of our security measures! How many more bullets can we dodge with this moron destroying our security forces. Remember, the murders at Ft. Hood were not a terrorist attack, at least that is what Katie Couric and Chris Mathews told me!
America, Phuck Yeah!!
That is 2 we know of with Hussein as President. Hood success this one failed as I suspect becuase of thet Terrorists stupidity more then anything else Not counting all the dry runs that are not reported and buried by Pravda. Justs flew NW from vegas a couple weeks ago. They took away my butane lighter to my surprise I could by another one at the store in the airport AFTER the security check. I am sad for those that aill perish because of the idiot in Chief.
9/11 feeling coming back! I am telling you now, America and her people are not going to put up with this CRAP any longer. We need a hero. Democratic, Republican or Independent, F'in DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sad fact is that it is likely that it will take another 9/11 or worse to wake these folks up to the reality of this "religion of peace".
in a word, no.
The reptile is sunning himself.
But I heard there's an old Jap Kamakazi still waiting nearby.
That would just be "Urban Renewal"
agreed nothing will come of it. And that is only the beginning. Chicago watch out!
Ya George Bush is gone but Obama is just an extension of Bush, and McCain was the establishments backup just in case Obama failed. Obama has extended troops twice to Afghanastan, still not pulled out of Iraq (we never will actually we always leave military bases, over 700 around the world), extended the Patriot Act, continued the bank bailouts, sending troops to seven bases in Columbia, paying for police officer pay raises in Afghanastan, making deals with a corrupt government in Afghanastan, dropping bombs from drones in Pakistan, sending foreign aid (borrowed money with interest) to select countries on and on
George Bush would be proud of Obama
You know I am not even sure that would do it. I am convinced the administration would find an excuse for it. Look at Ft Hood, he (what's his name the usurpator) has not yet said that it was an act of terrorism.
oh my God. Wrath will become them, it is not as if we were chastising the police for doing their job (that does not require knowledge of the facts or an investigation, we know where we stand on that.)
The press should be more measured and not go around and jumping to conclusions like that. I am sure there will be a retraction soon pending an investigation and we will be calling him a misguided person who did not understand that foot powder and mouth wash do not mix well.
I feel so much safer now that the fox is in charge of the hen house. Cluck cluck.
Merry Christmas to you too and God bless us, we need it.
Yeah unfortunately our congress and senate have better weapons.
Obamas tomorrow will demand not using the word terrorist but rather a confused person.
The guy should have tried this in the plane obamas were on taking their 2 million taxpayer dollars vacation after a hard year of stealing almost 2 trillion of our money.
Sorry but they were very much wanted there. They created the diversion Obie needed. Notice nobody (besides Beck) is talking about a felon attending the party. Okay these two are sleazy I grant you, but I think they very well may have been invited and the confusion was purposeful.
This will keep the fear mongering alive and well. Communism scared the generation before for four decades, we ought to be able to milk a couple hundred Al Quaeda runnin around for two decades. China has troops in one country, over two million strong, we are on six continents and over 700 bases overseas. They also have a growing economy at the moment because they finally decided to embrace an open market. Our economy will become more and more of a real security threat.
And concurrent with that, the tree huggers can scare with Global Warming and milk everyone from that direction.
Why is it that liberals NEVER understand that obsequies for your enemies make them take more? Appeasement breeds monsters!
Isn't a man made event sexist? Comon people get with the program he was psychologicaly trouble loner. Nothing to see here move along.
that was pretty good.
I feel a lot better about all of this now, thanks so much!
I feel a lot better about all of this now, thanks so much!
Well bring it on.
I concur.
The Left will still try and blame Bush for this. The way the Left will see it is that they just haven't had enough time yet for the peace and love to be cultivated across the world because of all the damage Bush did.
The Left can't understand that the radical Muslims out there hate the US. All the peace and love the Left wants to spread across the world won't work, the radical Muslims will still target the US because they want us gone.
An American diplomatic vehicle allegedly tried to run over an Israeli security guard at a border checkpoint in Israel last month, setting off a diplomatic scuffle that is straining relations between the two nations, the Jerusalem Post reported.
In an episode that was reportedly caught on tape, a five-car U.S. convoy was stopped at the Gilboa border crossing in the northern West Bank on Nov. 13 but refused to identify themselves or open any windows or doors for inspection by Israeli security.
What followed, according to the Post, was recorded in an official report that has kicked up a diplomatic dust storm in Israel.
Drivers in the American convoy blocked the crossing, the report says, tried running over a Defense Ministry security guard and made indecent gestures at female guards, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The incident led to a testy meeting five days later, when U.S. and Israeli officials met in Jerusalem to discuss the case and at least one other involving a Palestinian woman who was found in a U.S. diplomatic car without appropriate documentation.
The U.S. response, the Post noted, further angered Israeli officials: the chief regional security officer reportedly told his Israeli counterparts that "simple guards" had no authority to inspect senior diplomats.
The alleged incident apparently occurred just two days after the border crossing was opened to vehicular traffic, according to information from the Israeli Defense Ministry
I'll go…just after the US "Dial a Nuke" delivery program winds down over there…don't want any loud noises or strange clouds to interfere with my enjoyment of the glassed-over scenery…
I'd pack along a Barret M82A1 for the hunting club…US loadouts only, please…
SOMEBODY has to deal with the "nuclear irradiated zombie" problem they'll have…
I had an assistant last summer who was a grad student from China who praised the US for becoming the most powerful country on Earth (her words) in just two centuries and without any prompting from me (I kept a non-partisan demeanor during the conversation) she said her favorite president was Reagan. If she is a typical Chinese student then they may have some interesting times in the near future.
It was stupid trying to blow up a plane on Chistmas Day when nobody is flying. Just imagine this happening a few days before, in a blizzard and during one of the busiest times of the year. Air traffic would have come to a screeching halt.
Detroit, eh? Not to far from Dearborn..
Of course, Obama is not here. He's sunning himself in Hawaii,
Mmm mmm love me sum newspeak
And he won't after this latest fiasco either. According to the media, he's "on the issue" in Hawaii. You don't suppose he may go before the cameras(his favorite passtime) and remind the American public that "TERRORISM" is alive and well. Besides, he's really busy with his health care bill these days. But, not to worry, he's got "Janet" on it.
They must be short on bomb makers, 6-8 years of attrition and "working the meal stone" and they're down to mixing up the low end crap ala Richard Reid.
Thank goodness he burnt himself and no one else, hope it hurts, merry Christmas ya militant little cksucker.
..!..
I sure after a couple days not being allowed to watch I deam of Jeanie, he'll be ready to talk.
The screeners failed again. Let's target all white grandmothers more closely from now on!
Barry IS islamo-fascist
Be not concerned. This "mishap" will wind up under Holder's rug too.
Barry has a half brother in Nigeria, last we heard he was living in a hut on like $10 a month. I am sure there is a special provision in all these bills to give him his own house and healthcare. Since Obama never reached into his pocket and gave the guy a few hundred dollars so that he could live in comfort.
Obama never learned Charity begins at Home. Charity fromt he heart is wonderful, forced charity is Robbery.
I know terrorists and Nazi's are only used for Tea Party goers. We can't use those words for those nice young people from the middle east with bombs. They are so mis understood!
errrrr.
They may be able to break him if we can just get a group of children together to sing the Obama song. The he will feel the love and just tell everything. Once that is done we can put him in charge of the TSA with Homeland Security.
They are using one of the big ones with "Free" Healthcare. I am still shaking from that. POed is not even close to how I feel.
I like the conspiracy theory in my head: what a way to get Martial Law enacted if one of these fools did actually succeed. What if this was orchestrated? How did the inept fool pass security? Why was the deathbill rushed through before Christmas? So the "fool on the hill" could actually escape for his holiday while this happened?
Does Martial Law override the Constitution? I would not put anything past these corrupt cockroaches.
You betcha, Jeff… That way we can finally get all those blue-haired grannies under arrest for these terrorist attacks ! /sarc….
[...] Attempted Christmas Terror Attack Tied To al-Qaida [...]
In spite of White House efforts at personal diplomacy and ill-founded attitudes that if we just "reach out" to these
terrorists and persuade them that we "want to be friends" and mean no malice, our present policy is not working.
Why, you ask? Here's the answer: These Jihadists are NOT acting out of jealousy over our way of life, or
angry at us for things we have done. NO! NO! This is the one thing we need to understand: They are acting
upon THEIR BELIEFS rooted in their religion, i.e., that the infidels (those who do not embrace Islam) must be
killed. Why? Because all must submit to Islam in order for Allah to be satisfied. The jihadists believe this with
all their hearts. It is hard for us to understand such dedication.
12/08/09
(CBS) It was a security breach and a big embarrassment for the Transportation Security Administration. A secret manual that tells airport screeners around the country how to do their jobs somehow wound up on line for all the world to see.
Remember this story?
There's probably no connection though just move along,Did you hear the Obama's are in Hawaii?
I bet the weather is just great there.
First question YES second question NO
Several weeks ago my WASP son and daughter-in -law were going to Disney for a week with their 3 children (oldest 7). The POS TSA thugs did their best to try to ruin it for them as they were pulled out not once but twice for "extra" screening.
How is it that this muslim cult follower of the 7th century version of Jim Jones pedophile mohammed able to get on board with incendiary materials?
It is time to stop this PC crap before something worse happens.
Signed racist islamophobe gun clinger
How about some pig skin grafts
