The father of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab said he warned U.S. authorities about his son according to the Associated Press and The Huffington Post. Also, a PETN explosive was used by the Nigerian national on Northwest Flight 253 to Detroit.
His father reportedly went to the U.S. embassy in Abuja, Nigeria to report his concern that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was a terrorist. But the information his father provided was not of significant reason to place his son on the "no-fly" list.
The No-Fly List is a secret document maintained by the U.S. Government. It bans those listed from air travel in, to, or from the United States. There are reportedly over 1 million people on the No-Fly List.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was stopped in his attempt by Jasper Schuringa.
According to ABC News, the bomb plot was planned by al-Qeada in Yemen. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is reportedly giving a lot of information.
I can't help but wonder what was going through Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's head because on CNN,Jasper Schuringa said that Abdulmutallab said very little when he subdued him. He intended to execute a Christmas-day suicide bombing.
Stay tuned.
