A passenger on a flight Friday from Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Detroit, Michigan, ignited a small explosive device shortly before landing and the White House is considering the incident an attempted terrorist attack, a senior administration official said. The Northwest passenger, identified as a Nigerian national “claiming to have extremist affiliation,” was placed in custody and is being treated for burns suffered in the explosion, according to a federal government bulletin obtained by CNN from a source familiar with the investigation. The explosive device “was acquired in Yemen along with instructions as to when it should be used,” the bulletin said. The FBI is investigating, bureau spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said. Airline officials described the explosives as resembling firecrackers. The Northwest Airlines flight, operated by Delta, was flying from Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport. It made a safe landing and all 278 passengers were vacated to safety. The alleged assailant was taken into custody by US authorities, who said he had confessed to attempting to carry out a terrorist attack on behalf of al-Qaeda. One senior US official described the suspect as a 23-year-old Nigerian. Obama orders tighter security He has allegedly told investigators that he acquired the explosive in Yemen, along with instructions on how to use them.

What the fuck are you talking about?
Redneck does not mean working man are you Americans so fucking uneducated that you make up your own defenitions to have better view of yourself?
Redneck means uneducated, unsophisticated, poor white person from southern states.
Read the fucking definitions.
You also label God as everything but thats retarded since we already have term EVERYTHING its like saying this pen is unicorn so that means unicorns exist.
That alone shows you how ignorant White people are. Nigerians have distinct accents from Afro Americans. Ignorant White folks always find a reason to blame Afro Americans for violence. The stupid bitch should have known that an Afro American isn’t going to kill himself in order to kill others.
“african-american” lol. how do you know he’s american?

Get away from the myth of a guy living in a cave on dialysis being responsible for the worlds problems.Take the time to look at who benefited from 9/11,and the picture will be clearer.
right… a coon is an animal (that’s why there are coon hounds). I’ve been called a red neck by someone being shitty thinking that it’s an insult. I don’t care but it’s funny when they do ’cause they don’t know what it means AND I live at the. beach and work in banking/finance. Hell, most black kids even think cracker means white because crackers (that you eat) are white. idiots
As Charlie said, a redneck “ain’t nothing but a workin’ man”.! I had a cajun buddy who called himself coonass. I never really got any of it, since I didn’t grow up where I ever heard these terms.
red neck actually refers to someone that WORKS HARD and usually in the sun. I think red neck is a badge of honor for sure. Cracker is a term used for white people because of the crack of a whip, not a compliment. Coonass… I don’t get it at all.
Cracker is a term used in Georgia, like redneck is in Alabama, or coonass in Louisianna. A lot of whites refer to themselves with these terms as a badge of honor. Charlie Daniels immortilized the redneck in song.
I think it’s “cracka”. I think you have to put the “a” on the end so it is non-offensive. Sorta like “nigga” with the “a” not the “r”. It must be the letter “r” that is offensive, I guess.
There isa group behind this and we are protecting this guy now at risk to our own people.
He wasn’t,the media make him out to be the bogey man.
and yeah, “cracker” is funny to me too but it’s totally hypocritical of them to do so. Even IF we referred to other white people as cracker, that doesn’t mean THEY get to! We don’t say “nigga” because the word doesn’t “belong” to us and it’s derogatory but they can talk all the shit they want. That’s fair and equal treatment? MLKjr said we should judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. Why have people lost sight of that?
mikevdog- I believe the NAACP sees “people of color” as a way to get an income for them. You can’t fight for the “underdog” unless you make someone a victim. I believe they see “people of color” as inept and in need of someone to rescue them from all the “injustices”. If they really were for the ADVANCEMENT of colored people they’d tell the colored people to stop looking/waiting for the govt to provide for them. All wells run dry eventually.
Once he was given miranda rights he became African American. Before that he was a foreign enemy combatant. We will get no useful information from him and his lawyers now.
I think rappers and some urban people of color use the term “nigga”. I’ve heard that a lot while I lived in Detroit. It seemed a little harsh to me so I didn’t use it. I was referred to as “cracker” which I thought was funny.
I usually use “people of color” like the NAACP does.
If that is true, why is Bin Laden allegedly claiming he was behind the attack?
How is he gonna get it on with his 72 virgins without his balls?
The same Israeli firm ICTS that did security at Logan and Newark on 9/11, the London Underground on 7/7, Gatwick London where the alleged show bomber boarded also do it at amsterdamn.

To Muslims:
Visit w w w answering-islam org to VERIFY the CLAIMS of Muhammad!
HOW COULD MUHAMMAD BE THE LAST MESSENGER OF THE TRUE ALLAH WHEN HE -Muhammad- HAD NOT even 1 WITNESS TO AFFIRM HIS CLAIM AS THE LAST MESSENGER?
1]Moses had 600,000 Israelites as his eye-witnesses[Exodus 19:17 & 38:26];
2]Jesus had more than 4 witnesses[John 20:26-31]; and
3]Mohammed had not EVEN 1 EYE- WITNESS !
Sura 24:13 requires 4 eye-witnesses to affirm a case of adultery.
AMEN[=truly] only IN JESUS
CNN you bunch of new world order puppets. stop censoring you tube from telling us what your saying across the oceans. everytime we post you tube says you say censor the american ppl from your broadcasts. we wont forget you for this censorship
Um, bro, a couple of days after the Haskell story, the Dutch counter terrorism officials reported that he in fact did present a passport as CBS has reported. Also, Beau Taylor of Michigan who was also on that flight said that the man Haskell had seen was probably a Sudanese refugee who was also on the flight. The Nigerian government has also confirmed that Abdulmutallab had a valid US passport with multi-entry visa.
lol now it`s nigerian.. yeah, war must have excuse.. So the next front (besides Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen) will be in Nigeria. Don`t worry this is just to warm up people for thinking that Nigeria is “terroristic” country and later mosaic will be complete for opening front… What a nice brainwashing TV shit… After this shit I`m gonna turn on loud “Saxon – Ministry of fools”
I know that you couldn’t. Point being is that people stretch everything and connect it to some New world order shit. It cant just be a fucked up airline that let him on the plane? And why do people blame the US when he didn’t board in the USA? thats my thing. You claim it was planned by USA Gov. But it had nothing to do with the USA
