al Qaeda Man from Nigeria (on No Fly List) Tries to Blow Up Northwest Airlines Flight

A guy who was not supposed to be on an airplane tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight today on its way to Detroit. A 23-year-old Nigerian man tried to light a powdery substance aboard a Northwest Airlines flight before landing in Detroit on Friday. According to ABC News sources, the man claimed he was directed by al Qaeda to set off an explosion on the plane. Two people noticed the attempt ignite the device and a third person jumped on the man and subdued him. The man is being treated at the burn unit of the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor, officials said.

It is true, it is likely he is british or american- immediately the US embassy see u have a muslim name on your passport, they would not give you visa. Hence why you prolly wouldn't see many of our northern brothers abroad.

SEFAGO:

rep nigeria to the fullest

As if its not already bad enough - remove belt, remove shoe, laptop separate etc etc etc

What the bloke set off was fireworks so i understand how that translated to a "bomb" as titled for the thread
Regardless the dude must be a fuc.ktard high on cheap fruit punch for trying something dangerous and silly!!!

So its just knockout?

well from what I read ABC reported the guy is al quaeda while CNN claims it is knockout- check both of them- remember american TV stations dey lie too

what sort of nonsense is this? nigerians are known for 419 fraud all over the US now plane bombers? na wa oh.

Na wah. This is just the height of it. It's bad enough that we have a crappy reputation. I can only imagine what further damage this will do. But to be honest, Delta has very lax security going to and coming from Naija. I used them this year and I was like "eh?!" They were just too sloppy.

If thats true, then thats the final. Nigeria reputation has finished.

al queda told him to bomb a plane? lol what a disgrace. how was he able to smuggle that on a US plane?  with all the extreme security and all, im confused. let me read the CNN link

This is fresh news, nobody knows what is going on.

They said its firecrackers sha, but u know the US media. That being said, they should release the guys info let us know who we are dealing with. Where are the "Re-branders?" Anyway what do you expect from a country that has no president.

I seriously hope the guy is not Nigerian. But the harm may already be done, na wao!!!

Abeg the guy no fit be Naija. If na Nobel prize him win they will say he is African American. Because he wants to blow a plane, he is Nigerian. Abge the guy is African American until proven otherwise plus a typical and true Naija loves his life pass to attempt suicide bombing.

He is from Nigeria, is that not enough reason to do a thorough pat down? Not one of the worlds most enlightened countries.

We're laughing because we don't know what Arabs go through. When it reaches us let us see if we keep laughing. People don't play with their lives an America is home of stereotypers.

yeah, I saw that one and my blood rose up, man I should not have hypertension during christmas- i.d.i.o.t

@proudly that was exactly my thougt, nigerians dont have that kind of mindset, where they willing die for something or anyone especially if he get family.  There has to be more that they aren't disclosing so let me not say too much

Okay, prepare for double airport harassment.

@ezeagu lol that was my immediate thought, we will now take the maltreatment that arabs are currently receiving from these americans, can u imagine.

lol@seago u are silly. no get hypertension abeg. we dont know the real story yet its just speculation i hope. CNN will keep us abreast trust me
