Plane explosion scare leads to charges for Nigerian
Malaysia News.Net
Saturday 26th December, 2009
A 23-year-old Nigerian man has been charged with trying to destroy a Northwest Airlines flight with a powerful explosive device.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab set off the device attached to his body as the Northwest airliner was approaching Detroit airport from Amsterdam on Christmas Day.
But rather than bring the plane down, the explosion sparked a fire on Abdulmutallab’s body.
Passengers have told investigators that after Abdulmutallab went to an airline toilet, he returned to his seat and pulled a blanket over himself.
They said they then heard a popping noise, smelled an explosive-type odour then saw Abdulmutallab catching fire.
As his trousers and the wall of the plane caught alight, a Dutch tourist climbed over seats to subdue the would-be bomber.
Jasper Schuringa of Amsterdam told CNN he “figured the suspect was trying to blow up the plane."
He said he jumped over seats and crossed the aisle before extinguishing the fire with his hands and searching Mutallab for explosives.
Schuringa said he and other passengers took the man to first class where they stripped him and contained him to make sure he had no more weapons.
A federal judge has now told the Nigerian man that he has been charged with trying to blow up the Northwest Airlines plane.
The charges were laid at the University of Michigan Medical Centre in Ann Arbor, where Mutallab is being treated for burns.  Email this story to a friend

Found this and offer it to Girliehad as food for thought
If you are not a Muslim why in the hell you defend this filth? Go and live for a few years in Iran or in Saudi Arabia and then let us see if you still have anything good to say about Islam.
I am sure you are familiar with the term ‘useful idiot.’ It is credited to Lenin. (This is not certain.) It is said that Lenin called those Americans who defended communism and denied its police-state terror, while loving their own freedom, ‘useful idiots.’ Lenin knew there is no freedom under communism. Another version says that he called the capitalists ‘useful idiots’ for willing to 'sell us the rope with which to hang them.' In any case the term useful idiot refers to those who assist the enemy without having a clue of his real agenda. Useful idiot is a traitor, but one who acts out of naiveté.
The westerners who defend Islam, while at the same time like their own freedom and do not want to live under Islamic law are the real useful idiots. All one has to do to see the real agenda of Islam and Muslims is to listen to them. All one has to do is to read the Quran. That book is boring but you get enough idea just from the chapter 9, which is the last will and testament of Muhammad. The agenda of Islam is laid out in many hadiths and in the Quran, and particularly in the chapter 9. Listen to the sermons in the mosques and read the placards of Muslim demonstrators. One must be really deaf and blind to not know what Muslims want. They want domination, stupid.

An absurd Law on safety
for many years now we are ask to remove any liquid or bottle and tubes containing cemical compounds from our hand luggage. We are stoped and searched at a certain point at the entry gates,The question is, Are we safe?
As soon as we cross that check point, there are stores within the secure area selling the very bottles containing liquids thats remove from our hand luggages.
Whom are the authorities trying to fool? and how safe are we?
