Al-Qaida link in failed plane attack
By LARRY MARGASAK and LARA JAKES
WASHINGTON – 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.
Both of the officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was continuing.
The motive of the Christmas Day attack was not immediately clear.
Yea, I cannot imagine what the motive could be…..amazing that people actually get paid to write this stuff.
These guys haven't figured out yet that GOD is on our side and allah ain't it…….maybe after our troops over there and the IDF kill enough of them, they'll "get it". It should have worked but it didn't. Why else would it not?
Enough! Goddamn surplus! It is time for a petition demanding that all Muslims be permanently banned from all international flights.
Tonto, Ben,
I am not sure what is worse.This or this….

The advertising campaign is much less dangerous than a bomb on an aircraft. Petition On Line claimed they sent a confirmation email, if I don't get it soon, I will post it on the petition site instead.
Thankfully the bomb attempt failed, but this ad will sink into the head of thousands.
I'll check my email now.
Here is the petition demanding that Muslims be banned from flying:

Lets make it go viral!!
The Kenyan referred to this as an incident. Between the Kenyan and the Liberals this country is in a world of deep doodoo. Pray and pray hard that November 2010 goes the correct way.
In all the news reports I've seen on British TV, not once has the word "Muslim" been mentioned. I did a Google "News" search for "Muslim terrorist" quite a while after it had happened, and only got one hit, on the Canadian Free Press.
Of course not. They would not want to offend the millions of Muslims who sit silently as the problems with Islam get worse across the world.
Look at the last sentence in this article. It states that the motive is not clear. Yea OK….
Enjoy the long security lines at the airport? Are you ready for lines in front of movie theaters, shopping malls, etc just like at the airport? BE SURE TO THANK A MUSLIM!
We Muslims are our self in problem due to some bad believers. We are facing every day hundreds of innocent peoples death in our own Muslim countries. It shows that terrorist are not just enemies of non believers etc. but enemies of Muslim as well as. We are tired of solving this riddle. On the one hand WE Muslims are supporting US agenda against terrorist and on the other side we are earning bad name across the world.
Maybe Muslims need to start leaving Islam.
Even than u people are not safe. We have take it from the root cause.
