There you are :)
As usual the BBC has a bit more info.
Mr Abudmutallab allegedly concealed two explosives - PETN and TATP - in his clothing with other ingredients to make a bomb, according to the court document.
The indictment said the bomb was designed for him to detonate at a time of his choosing.
The counts are:
* attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction
* attempted murder within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the US
* willful attempt to destroy and wreck an aircraft
* willfully placing a destructive device in or near an aircraft which was likely to endanger the safety of the aircraft
* two counts of possession of a firearm, ie the bomb, in furtherance of violent crime.
Been busy and still so. Kept in touch with Travis McGee and appalachian_dweller and MamaDearest, but that's about it. The Matrix got to be too overwhelming for my psyche working in the hood as I still do. Now with my wife in chemotherapy for breast cancer and me stepping up to take care of her, I don't expect that'll change. But as I suspect that we're due for a major attack soon, I'll be popping by more often, I think.
I would look for a series of Mumbai style attacks, simultaneously across the nation, or maybe just a few at first to give OHHHHHH BABY the excuse he and lap dog Holder need to ram through massive gun control and then when the Jihadis think American's are disarmed, a second massive wave of mall shootings everywhere. That's just a guess of course. I would not be surprised to see a multi-pronged attack come down via more airliners, coupled with attacks at sea and single/multiple shooters. Suicide bombers, too.
I have long postulated the coming order of battle. This was something folks like Old Sarge, judicial meanz and I hashed out a long time ago on something like the OLD TM thread #8. I have posted it here before, but I'll run it by y'all again, for the sake of folks joining since I last appeared:
We sort of came to the conclusion that there could be three or four levels of terror operative looking to commence hostilities.
FIRST, there might be the organized cells with specific targets. The cell will have trigger pullers, support personnel to establish safe houses, documents etc and probably recon and security types. These are the folks who will have the WMD assets and be looking to score multiple 911's but oh so much worse than the original.
SECOND there would be trained terrorists with knowledge of field craft but here as sleepers. They may have been here for years. They may have been assigned specific targets or they may have been given an array of potential targets to strike under a given codeword ("GO" CODE).
THIRD would be the random trigger pullers smuggled across the Mexican border since 911. They will be dedicated Jihadis but probably limited in education and salable civilian skills. They may settle into areas with high latino populations since the two at least superficially bear a resemblance to each other in physical features. They will secure typical illegal immigrant jobs and wait to strike. These would be the ones most likely to snap and go into sudden Jihadi syndrome as may have been demonstrated in the past perhaps in this most recent recruiter murder. However, there is no telling how many of these will remain dedicated to their original objectives and how many might succumb to the allure of the American lifestyle and simply move from the mission to the dream. OTOH, there is also no telling how many of the dedicated moles will stay on task and may even recruit new members to the cause, especially if arrested for other offenses and forced to move into the correctional system.
That very correctional system would provide the last and FOURTH wave of a much larger and coordinated plan. The converted are still criminals and now it's like they have a license to kill in the name of their pagan god (lower case deliberate) which they will embrace.
