Obama Linked To Wealthy Terrorist Bomber

The world media assembles outside the posh, multi-million dollar former London residence residence of terrorist bomber

For some reason, the world media has decided to connect US president Barack Obama with the Nigerian terrorist who attempted to bring down an American airliner with a semtex bomb strapped to his thighs last week.

The suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23-year-old son of a wealthy former Nigerian banking official, was arrested and charged with attempting to detonate a bomb on board Northwest Flight 253 on Christmas Day as it approached Detroit for a landing. Abdulmutallab tried to light an explosive strapped to his thighs by injecting a liquid detonator into it. But the bomb didn’t explode as expected. Instead, the flaming liquid dripped under the seat setting the man’s legs and the carpeting on fire.

Passengers said they saw a flash of light and heard what sounded like a firecracker going off inside a pillowcase. An alert passenger jumped over seats and other passengers to subdue Abdulmutallab who was taken to the first class section where his pants were ripped off of him.

Bot the bomber and hero sustained 2nd and 3rd degree burns.

The quiet, unassuming baby faced student lived like royalty in a posh $3 million London townhouse. Former college friends say he was a loner who didn’t have a girlfriend. His parents financed his lavish lifestyle, but after graduating from a London University, Abdulmutallab moved to Yemen and broke ties with his family.

His father Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, a former Nigerian minister and chairman of the First Bank of Nigeria, warned the US about his son’s extremist views but Abdulmutallab was granted a US travel VISA anyway. Abdulmutallab’s name was added to a terrorist database but apparently he was not given “no-fly” status.

This story has topped the world headlines for days and has received 24-hour wall-to-wall coverage on US news networks. But why attach Obama’s name to the incident?

Some say Obama has so far ignored calls to suppress Al Qaeda cells in Yemen where Abdulmutallab allegedly received the bomb and his instructions. Many members of Al Qaeda have fled the war zones and moved to Yemen and Somalia, both Muslim countries that Obama is wary of criticizing.

Obama has already promised $70 million to the Yemen government in its fight against terrorist groups. But some say that’s not nearly enough.

As Sen. Joe Lieberman told Fox News on Sunday, “Iraq was yesterday’s war. Afghanistan is today’s war. If we don’t act preemptively, Yemen will be tomorrow’s war.” [link]

The call has gone out for Obama to consider preemptive (military) action in Yemen and other Muslim countries harboring Al Qaeda terror cells. But so far Obama has resisted.

According to a British paper, Abdulmutallab bragged to the FBI that there are “25 more” terrorists just like him ready to bomb commercial airliners in the US.

We have got to make Israel make a peace agreement with the palestian. This is the root cause of the conflict.
missmiami

There will never be peace. It’s just the way it is

I do not support preemptive (military) action. Am I the only one?

This is an unfortunate situation all the way around. He was on the terror list but received a passport anyway?? This is why we will never feel safe in our country. I feel the airport security has been lacking but why wait until this man blew up a whole plane to step up security?
missmiami

This is where I get a little confused as far as religion and etc. Serious comments only! So since we are all given FREE WILL and this dude obviously decided to use his FREE WILL so that he could blow up the plane; does this mean that if he succeeded that it WAS EVERYONE’S time to go aboard that place???????? I mean this boggles me because how can one person decide the fate of all on board the plane and then some folks say well it was God’s plan and simply everyone’s time to go I’m being honest because this type of stuff confuses me and scares the crap out of me when I think about flying a plane. BTW, I saw a special on tv the other day about the plane that landed in the HUDSON and it was simply amazing!

Sandra, you have failed to illustrate the link Obama has to Farouk.

He is a mentally disturbed boy who cut himself off from most of his family & there’s no concrete proof that he has any ties to Al-Qaeda. In fact many people believe this is just another of his fantasies & his only tie to Yemen is one of his mothers is a Yemeni Arab.

That being said, the US state department needs to investigate why they issued this guy a multiple entry visa months after his father reported him to the US embassy in Abuja & to the FBI. Holland authorities need to investigate why this guy was allowed to board a plane in Amsterdam without a security check… Lord knows they detain me unnecessarily everytime I fly through that airport enroute to the US… So why was security so lax that day? Perhaps they didn’t have enough staffing on Christmas day.

The US government dropped the ball yet again and almost cost hundreds of Americans there lives.

I am shocked and scared that these people are really going thru extreme measures to kill Americans !!!!

@ missmiami

I thought about that after 9/11. Did the fate of over 3,000 just lie in these terroists hands like that?? I couldn’t believe what I was seeing but I learned a long time ago never, never question God. He knows what He is doing. My faith is especially shook sometimes when I hear about crimes committed against children but I have to think they are in a better place. But to answer your question: I don’t question why anymore. But that’s a good question Missmiami.

What I want to know is what is the significance of flight 253? On the news last night, they reported that the same flight number to Detroit had someone else trying to do the same thing. But today there was no mention of it. I think its funny how sometimes they report something only once and if you miss it you just miss it. I believe that there are other bombers there and they know who they are. They always know who is who. I think they have to let some slip through in order to fulfill other agendas.
