SAN'A, Yemen (AP) - The Nigerian suspected of trying to bring down a U.S. airliner with explosives might have used Arabic studies as a pretext for entering Yemen before disappearing for months, perhaps into one of the lawless country's al-Qaida strongholds, fellow students and teachers said.

Interviews with staff and students at the Institute for the Arabic Language this week have revealed that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was frequently absent from classes and spent at most one month at the school in Yemen's capital, San'a, starting in late August before vanishing.

Authorities say he didn't leave the country until December and that his whereabouts during that period remains a mystery.

FYI

HILLARY CLINTON’S AGENCY ISSUED THE TERRORIST’S VISA

I have noted several times that the State Dept. is responsible for issuing many of the BAD visas who turn out to be jihadists or criminals. Remember this number is above those issued by USCIS. All in all, we must be issuing a couple million visas every year.(over 4 million are overstays and will be eligible for AMNESTY)

Cover... and positive reinforcement. You think the curriculum was “Dick, Jane, and Spot the Camel?” It was Koran and hate.

I thought Arabic studies was just a euphemism for terrorism training.
