The Detroit bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was linked to a Muslim extremist under surveillance by MI5 while he was living in Britain, it has emerged.

The connection was discovered after record checks by MI5 following the attempted suicide bombing on Christmas Day by Abdulmutallab on a US-bound plane.

It is feared he had been involved with other extremists while he was a student at University College, London between 2005 and 2008.

It has also emerged that the bomber wrote of his desire for Muslims to “rule the whole world” by carrying out a “great jihad” in internet postings four years before he tried to carry out a suicide bomb attack on a passenger jet.

Also — he spent 3 months in Yemen back in 2005! — that’s over 4 years ago! So it’s not like, gee, we only found out about this guy a few weeks ago.

“He wrote the blog in 2005, when he was still a student at a British-run boarding school in west Africa. It has also emerged that he went on to attended a three-month Arabic summer school later that year in Yemen”
