The father of a Nigerian charged with trying to blow up a US jet on Christmas Day had voiced concerns to US officials about his son, it has emerged. The father, a top Nigerian banker, warned US authorities weeks ago about 23-year-old Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's extreme religious views. An Obama administration official told the New York Times the report had been received, but had been non-specific.
Airports worldwide have beefed up security after the alleged attack. Mr Abdulmutallab was formally charged by a US federal judge at a Michigan hospital where he is being treated for burns after allegedly trying to detonate a device. 'Sewn in underpants' The detainee reportedly smiled as agents brought him in to the room in a wheelchair, dressed in a green hospital robe and with a blanket over his lap.
The Northwest Airlines plane had been carrying 278 passengers and 11 crew High explosives are believed to have been moulded to his body and sewn in to his underpants.

Looks like actor Don Cheadle.
What’s a nice boy like him doing on a plane....?
I think before long some inventive FReeper will post a set of lookalikes
That’s wasis
Thanks for the info.
He must not have been adequately searched because the government did not want to “profile” him in advance. They only search elderly persons in wheelchairs the way they should do for terrorists.
If we had an honest media Zero would never have been elected POTUS.
this a-hole was given a >Multiple Entry US VISA < at the US Embassy in London . Why ?
Heck , I could not get an approved single entry tourist visa for my niece in Bangkok , not for anything . Straight up refusal . No sponsorships allowed , no appeals .
Whoever issued that visa should be shot .
And yet they give these male muzzie dirtbags with the easily
profilable muzzie names multiple entries....
It isn’t right
Well, you can’t blame the TSA or Homeland Security for this guy getting under the radar. There was no reason to suspect he was a terrorist. He was not an Iraq War Veteran, A tea Partier or member of any right wing sites. He did not go around spouting off about the Constitution and was not Pro-America. He did not hit on any of the protocols that Obama or Homeland Security consider dangerous. He was Black, Islamic and hated the US. He was not going to be kept out of the US. Hell he probably had a welcome mat out signed by Barry himself.
now they are saying that that is not true , that the perp travels on a Brit passport . No visa required?
Who knows , it still ain’t right .
They want to come here? let um try to swimm
the father warned oboma but obama said SHHHHHHHHHHH
This appears to be Bennie Thompson’s equivalent to Condi Rice’s Daily Threat Report, “Bin Laden Determined to Strike US”
...........The father, a top Nigerian banker.....
OK, ok, I confess.
I hired this guy to enter the US because his father told me that my great grandfather left millions behind in Nigeria, and if I gave him my social security number and my bank account number he could settle my grandfathers account, with taking only ten percent for his son!
Boy, am I screwed. Probably the authorities will be coming after me for my Swiss account #231-564-8726-9468. I’ll lose millions!
Bump for later Sunday reading
So that a terrorist atrocity -- even an attempted one -- would distract everyone from the healthcare fiasco.
Sorry, but it's beginning to look that way.
