Arabia
Al-Qaida group claims responsibility for airliner attack
2009-12-29
Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula on Monday claimed responsibility for the attack on a U.S. airliner bound for Detroit on Christmas Day, saying it was retaliation for a U.S. operation against the group in Yemen.
Yes, yes. Frightening as is the thought of what might have been, the fact is the U.S. operation succeeded. The Al Qaeda operation failed in a painful and life-changing way.
Federal authorities met today to reassess the U.S. system of terror watch lists to determine how to avoid the type of lapse that allowed a man with explosives to board the flight in Amsterdam even though he was flagged as a possible terrorist.

In a statement posted on the Internet, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula said 23-year-old Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab coordinated with members of the group, an alliance of militants based in Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

#2  DepotGuy - listening to "President" O'Bumble can confuse anyone. Listening to his "czars" and cabinet secretaries is equally as bad. Remember the computer saying, "Garbage in, garbage out"? Our "President" has been spoon-fed Marxist garbage since he was six years old.

But…but President Obama assured us yesterday Abdulmutallab was just an…“isolated extremist”. I am so confused.
