Nigerian accused of attacking US passenger jet
Found on BBC News on Friday, 25 December 2009
A Nigerian man has been charged with attempting to destroy a plane after he allegedly tried to detonate a bomb on a passenger jet arriving in the US.
Mr Abdulmutallab reportedly told investigators he had links to al-Qaeda and had received the explosives in Yemen.
A preliminary investigation found that security procedures were followed correctly, and the man had a valid US visa.
A black person, trained by Al-Qaeda in Yemen, who is on a list of people having significant terrorist connections got a valid visa and went through all security checks even though his parents warned officials before. This leaves the US security officials with the reddest face ever; but at the same time, they will demand more rights for privacy violations to increase the monitoring of everybody, not realizing that there will always be someone who can get through.
