Foxnews reported this evening that Abdul Mudallad, a Nigerian man who claimed as acting on behalf of Al Qaeda, tried to blow up a North West Airline flight while on the descent to Detroit. The North West Airline flight reportedly had started in Amsterdam. Detroit was the final destination.
According to foxnews, a passenger on the flight, Syed Jafri, had stated that as the flight was on its’ descent to Detroit, he saw a glow, and noticed a smoke smell. Foxnews went onto report that one of the US officials had said that the Al Qaeda Nigerian Abdul Mudallad had carried an explosive device, which he tried to ignite.
Foxnews went onto report that Officials also had stated that the explosive device was a mix of powder and liquid. Upon being tried to be ignited during the descent over Detroit, the explosive device didn’t look like it caused much harm. Foxnews tv just reported that the the explosive device was a somewhat sophisticated explosive device, but didn't ignite the way it is capable of, preventing much damage.
The White House has called it an attempted act of terrorism.
Thank God for America! This Christmas day, looks like God indeed was with us to prevent the flight from blowing up over Detroit! This Christmas day, looks like God indeed was with us to prevent the explosive device from causing more harm over Detroit. Thank God that the device failed to ignite the way it could have.
Mr President, are you watching?
Al Qaeda is sensing weakness in your administration. Al Qaeda is sensing how weak you are, how friendly you are to the terrorists in Gitmo, giving them Miranda rights, giving them the same right and protection as American Citizens, and going to the extent of trying them in civilian courts in NY, rather than in military courts overseas.
Mr President, stop being so soft and weak on the terrorists. Like him or hate him, President Bush kept America safe.
Mr President, Americans are hoping and praying this Christmas that you will act strong, and treat terrorist the same way President Bush treated them, and keep them away from American soil during your Presidency.

thats a lot of foxnews citations for the long island democrat examiner
I agree, God is with America & Obama.
A well-dressed GOP agent picked up the known radical, put him on the plane with instructions to ignite the device over Michigan or they will kill him & his family.
There is no way a Black man in a t-shirt, travelling alone and without a passport could get on a US bound airplane without help from US Officials.
GOP don't want Michigan to accept the Gitmo prisoners; exploding an airplane over Michigan would surely affect public opinion against Liberals.
GOP Supremacists like Cheney, Limbaugh, Hannity, Palin, the Fox News crew are our worst enemies. We are just little pawns to them.
Wow well everyone is human and no one is the same so you cant be judging them for what they are, its for who they are. Everyone has a different soul and they have rights not only "Americans". Hispanics and other races deserved it too.
Got something to say?
