Terrorist attack foiled aboard U.S. jetliner

[Babyblue]

Mod note:

First of all, Obama has nothing to do with this thread, it is about security and the attack was foiled. No reason to bash Obama for what happened.

Please stick with the topic of this news article.


The origin was from Netherlands, and Obama has no control of that country, the Netherland security group should have checked with the system.

Aha, Netherlands and Obama... I see the connection!

Wait, what connection?

Yay!!! Finally someone understands!!!

I am not alone after all!!!!

And yet I wonder why the guy's name is on the Federal terrorist list of names but not on the no fly list.

Jump, Shamu, jump.

All it take could be one small mixture of this stuff.

I already raised this question two pages ago. He had been in the federal counterterrorism files for two years but he was not in the no-fly list.

because according to multiple articles - there are no solid evidence that he posed a danger.

Kind of makes you wonder.

I look toward the Obama administration for answers.

White House (regardless of President) is not responsible for maintaining no-fly list.

a rebuttal to your insidious comment -

Bomb Attempt on U.S.-Bound Flight

Some foreign political and intelligence officials have long complained that the U.K. let itself become a base for terrorist cells and some recent attacks or attempted attacks on Western targets have had a British connection.

This included another failed attempt to blow up a U.S. bound jet midair, when Richard Reid, the so-called shoe-bomber, attempted to ignite explosives in his shoe on a flight from Paris to Miami just before Christmas 2001. In recent years the U.K. has made it harder for foreigners to enter the country, including by tightening up visa requirements for foreign students, a major revenue stream for British universities and colleges.

Attack on Flight 253: What is PETN?

Pentaerythritol tetranitrate is a colorless, crystalline material that is highly explosive and in the same chemical family as nitroglycerin. It is generally stored and shipped as a mixture with water.

It was developed after World War I and is often used in military explosives and found inside blasting caps. Terrorists like it because it's small and powerful.

It is the same material convicted shoe bomber Richard Reid used to try and blow up American Airlines Flight 63 from Paris to Miami in 2001.

How much weight of gm was made with PETN plastic explosive for Northwest Airlines Flight 253?

"Federal officials identified the man as Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, of Nigeria, who was traveling one way, without a return ticket. "
This should had been a Red Flag! The guy should had been questioned about only having an one way ticket to USA!

Attack on Flight 253: What is PETN?

PETN is the bomb - like TNT, C4, and Semtex.

How much weight of gm was made with PETN plastic explosive for Northwest Airlines Flight 253?

no idea and most likely not enough to down the plane. It is not easy to obtain enough amount to blow up a vehicle.

there are thousand thousand of people with questionable background who have bought one-way ticket to USA. We are not a fascist state nor a police state. We must carefully balance the rights and security.
