[-Cp]

US security services received intelligence suggesting “a Nigerian” in Yemen was planning a terrorist attack weeks before a passenger jet was targeted on Christmas Day, it has been reported.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, is being held at a federal prison in Michigan on a charge of trying to destroy an aircraft.

He allegedly attempted to ignite explosive stored in his underpants as the flight from Amsterdam, carrying 280 passengers, made its final descent into Detroit on Friday.

US network ABC News reported that information had been received by US authorities suggesting an attack might be imminent.

Ooooooooooh they learned of a pending attack weeks before.....Hmmmm....let's see now....I suppose in just guessing I'd have to say, the powers that be were doubled over in apathy with their heads shoved so far up their butts that they spent all their time gasping for air.....Amazing that no one took heed of that info......:lame2: But then, we are talking about politicians here.....When one spends most of his or her time bending and squatting to smooch the butt of another politician, they just can't be bothered with trivial things as terrorism.....
