Who really trained the bombing suspect who tried to blow up a plane last week in America? Here is some very interesting reading http://mediamonarchy.blogspot.com/2009/12/change-more-christmas-time-terror.html ---------------------------------- U.S. officials say a Northwest Airlines passenger from Nigeria said he was acting on behalf of al Qaeda 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. A senior U.S. counterterror official says Mudallad was planning to blow up Northwest Airlines Flight 253 carrying 278 passengers, but the explosive device failed. Mudallad reportedly ignited powder attached to his leg and was severely burned in the incident, CBS News reports. Other news outlets reported that the explosive may have contained a liquid, not powder. Rather than having its intended effect on other passengers, however, the small fire only caused a commotion and some minor injuries. Mudallad was on a terror watchlist, King said. The White House is calling the incident an attempted terrorist attack. The FBI is investigating, and stricter security measures were being implemented. A U.S. security official says the explosive device was a mixture of powder and liquid. Department of Homeland Security's Web Site Initially, it was reported a passenger had attempted to light fireworks on board the the Airbus 330 as a type of prank. J.P. Karas, 55, of Wyandotte, Mich., said he was driving down a road near the airport and saw a Delta jet at the end of the runway, surrounded by police cars, an ambulance, a bus and some TV trucks. "I don't ever recall seeing a plane on that runway ever before and I pass by there frequently," he said. Karas said it was difficult to tell what was going on, but it looked like the front wheel was off the runway. The flight left Amsterdam's Schiphol International Airport at 8:45 a.m. local time Friday morning and arrived in Detroit a 12:01 p.m. CST.
