Terrorist Attack On Northwest Airlines December 25th 2009

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.

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.

Amen

Why am I not surprised that there are already suspicious circumstances surrounding this supposed attempted terror attack. Has the 9/11 koolaid worn off already? More fear mongering orchestrated by the CIA, just watch, it will all start to come out but by then they will have already succeeded in scaring Americans yet again.

[SANDSOFTRUTH]

I am just about fed up with all this bullshit. Why am I supposed to feel guilty for something I have not done. If you people want holy war, then fuck it - you shall have it. And to all you people who keep insisting that this was an inside job by the American government - well you are just a bunch of fucking morons.

The same Israeli firm ICTS that did security at Logan and Newark on 9/11, the London Underground on 7/7, Gatwick London where the alleged shoe bomber boarded also do it in amsterdam.

[giptonsilly]

MrForenzo Thats exactly what this fucking nwo want you to believe. There is no terrorists trying to blow up planes its all there to keep people scared and controlled. There is no such thing as Al Qaeda, thats a name made up by the CIA and means a database for when the Afgans were at war with the russians, The Bin Laden family are friends of the bush family so we know this is all bollocks. Why take the risk blowing a plane up when you could just walk in to a Mall or cinema and blow everybody up ?

[TheSpacydawn]

There are no terroists!!!....Don't be scared honey. The reason they did this at christmas is to have a captive audience... Think how the poor people of Iraq and Afganisttan are feeling we oppress them on a daily basis. YOu are supposed to be scared, it makes you easier to control....Go have fun and be a Kid while you can.......x

[l1lwe3zy]

OBAMA IS SHIT

[quinnweller]

Blast4me,stop being a fucking conspiracy fag.

[Blast4me420]

I can't believe people still fall for this non sense! Al Queada is made up by the CIA!

You have been conned by piracy. You really need to wake up! Watch Anti Terrorist on youtube, and also look into Obama's Trial set for January 26, 2010! He is after all an illegal immigrant!!!!!!!

I agree. This was an US National Security State intelligence operation to drum up continue support on many fronts for the war on terror. I personally feel it's to enrich private airport screening contractors. In June of this year Congress voted on requiring other forms of of screening devices aside from whole body imaging and includes pat downs which wold require more personnel. Another example of a war economy. Don't be surprised if baby power and make up will be banned

PS I do realize you are not from America. Just wanted you to know that is just how I deal with the BS. This shit is serious, people are getting killed. thanks for your support.

[USA0806]

Sands, don't listen to the conspiracy theorists. They are always looking for ways to jab a stick at America and us Americans. Funny to me that some of these people (internationals) think they know more about what goes on in our own country (like their media doesn't ever lie to them,,HaHaHa)than we do. It's because they are lies behind the stories.
