Christmas 2009 Terror Attack Averted. . . .

NWA passenger was trying to blow up flight into Detroit

According to freep.com:

A man suspected of planning to blow up a Delta Air Lines flight in Detroit could face charges as soon as Saturday, according to an official familiar with the case.

The suspect, identified by a member of Congress as Abdul Mudallad, is a Nigerian national who claims to have ties to al-Qaida.

It was unclear today why the man wanted to attack the flight arriving from Amsterdam.

The plane, an Airbus 330, landed about noon in Detroit, and was carrying 278 passengers on a flight from Amsterdam. There were no major injuries.

Many on board were unaware of what had occurred at the front of the plane — learning about the incident only after they had left the aircraft and were questioned by FBI agents.

Others were keenly aware, having a bird’s-eye view of the man, who was tackled by passengers shortly after he tried to light what many thought was a firecracker.

“It was terrifying. I thought this was it,” said Richelle Keepman of Oconomowoc, Wis., who sat just rows in front of the suspect.

She said she thought she was going to die when she saw the flames and commotion. . . .

. . . .Passengers subdued the man and may have prevented him from detonating the explosives, officials said.

. . . .One U.S. intelligence official said the explosive device was a mix of powder and liquid. It failed when the passenger tried to detonate it.

This article is truly frightening. . . . .WHY? This one sentence. . . .

"It was unclear today why the man wanted to attack the flight arriving from Amsterdam."

WTF? After 9/11 it is still "unclear" why someone named Abdul Mudallad wants to attack America using an airplane. Have they also forgotten about convicted shoe bomber Richard Reid, who tried to destroy a trans-Atlantic flight in 2001 with explosives hidden in his shoes

There are over a billion Muslims in the world and 98% have one goal - to convert or kill Christians and Jews. Their favorite chant is "Death to America".

What the hell is wrong with the press in this country? Being "politically correct" is going to be our downfall.

Wonder if Abdul Mudallad was hollering "Allahu Akbar" (god is great) as he tried detonating the explosives? Or did he use some of the TSA standard operating procedures for airport security checkpoints that was "accidently" released on the internet earlier this month?

Thank God there are still real HEROES. . . .Dutch film director, Jasper Schuringa attacked this bastard when he saw smoke rising from his seat and dove over four passengers to reach this wannabe terrorist.

Jasper Schuringa was able to prevent the deaths of at least 278 people. . . .A true Christmas miracle. . . . .
