The Times of London -- Intelligence agents failed to act on internet "chatter" among al-Qaeda members that referred to a possible attack by "the Nigerian", it has emerged.
High-ranking White House officials say that intelligence services should have pieced together warnings about Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who is accused of trying to blow up a plane on Christmas Day, with suspicious chatter about a Nigerian in an al-Qaeda terror plot.
and where the hell is the proof that this Nigerians actions are in any way related to the al-Qaeda, other than just being over there. Fuck. We have a tonne of people living in the west that could've had a past with crime in a third world country.

Hiding explosives in underpants...... X-rays should be able to pick it up. It isn't a deadly tactic. A 12 yr old could've done that. The people who were viewing the x-ray screens were just blind.
