Christmas day terror




Recently, on christmas day a nigerian man attempted to blow up a U.S flight going to detroit. The name of the nigerian man is Umar Abdulmutallab.Furthermore, he allegedly claim to be with al-qaeda. His father went to the U.S embassy to warn them about his son. In addition "Red flags" were missed across the board.Abdulmutallab had no checked luggage; he paid for his ticket with cash; and British officials had rejected his visa renewal application and had his name on their own watch list. Even though this happened his name was not put on the no-fly list. This event brought out the failure of the intelligence of the United States. Since this event occured, there has been some finger pointing but now the awarness for an improvement in security and intelligence sharing has increased since then. To view the article click "here".
