So he had some skills.
An engineering student ? His bomb fizzled in his lap! Fail.
Plus he was tackled by a solid citizen. Beat down.
His skills suck!

An al Qaida-linked suspect who allegedly tried to blow up a transatlantic plane is studying at a UK university, it has been reported.
The Nigerian is accused of trying to detonate a powdery substance on a plane from Amsterdam as it prepared to land at Detroit with 278 people on board.
US sources said he was subdued by passengers and has since claimed to have been acting for al Qaida.
He has been named by ABC News as Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, an engineering student at University College London, with the broadcaster citing US government documents.
The suspect, who has also been identified as Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab in other reports, is currently under guard at a Michigan hospital.
He was flying from Nigeria to the United States for a religious ceremony according to his entry visa, ABC News said, which was issued on June 16 last year and valid until June 12, 2010.

The picture I’m getting is that he assembled the pants bomb during the flight using material that was smuggled aboard the craft in some other fashion.
P.S. I’d be curious to hear about your one... ;-)
Just heard on CBS radio, he injected his groin with some chemical mixture, it failed to blow up, just 3rd dregree burns.
Well guess he did win the Darwin Award!!!
He'll be appointed White House Fluffy Muslim Kisses Czar shortly.
No, only the consolation prize.
Someone needs to tell them that Bush is gone and we love Al Queda now. Wasn’t that supposed to stop terrorism?

50 plus. My pants never caught on fire.
Yeah up his butt.
I’ll be interested to know if any of this was smuggled on board in a body cavity. I hear that ploy is virtually undetectable. (Actually, scratch “virtually.)
I was being patted down for the SECOND time getting on a flight four years ago when 3 muzzies were waived onto a plane right in front of me and the two nitwits turning my pockets inside out. I said to them that NO ONE had checked them out...and that they had been acting strangely...nothing weird, but something off center...the two geniuses said they would look into it...I was talking very loud...I’m understating it...and got a hard look from one of the rag heads... I said, yeah, I’m talking about you, tough guy” (or words to that effect) but still managed to get the attention of the flight crew onto them instead of me (though it was touch and go)...they took them back off the flight after they threw me some hand gestures and I boarded, laughing.
They did not get on before we took off. Never heard another word. The two knuckleheads going over me threatened to keep me in a holding cell and I told them I wasn’t getting on that plane anyway if they weren’t checking those three out...they were “suspicious” enough in my book...
That was my only brush with anything like that and I also qualify this by saying I have logged just under a million mile (US only) in the past 10-12 years...American Airlines, mostly, which this flight was...
Well, he most certainly was, in terms of jihad and the death cult known as Islam.
Allegra this is way off topic but Merry Christmas we love you be safe
Jeanne Meserve also said he did not go thru secondary screening at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam before continuing on to Detroit.
Bus related? Train related? Mall related?? I am just sick about this crap happening to us OVER AND OVER and them getting defended...

Obummer has stated that we should not jump to any conclusions about this brite student.
Who was attracted to terrorism because of his extreme poverty and lack of opportunities.
