I Guess Al Qaeda still doesn't like us after all - attempt to blow up Plane at Detroit fails

Attempted Christmas Gift by Al Qaeda thankfully fails. So much for them unclenching their fist.

Al-Qaida link in failed plane attack

U.S. officials say a Northwest Airlines passenger from Nigeria said he was acting on behalf of al-Qaida when he tried to blow up a flight Friday as it landed in Detroit.

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., identified the suspect as Abdul Mudallad, a Nigerian. King said the flight began in Nigeria and went through Amsterdam en route to Detroit.

One of the U.S. intelligence officials said the explosive device was a mix of powder and liquid. It failed when the passenger tried to detonate it.

The passenger was being questioned Friday evening.

Both of the officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was continuing.

The motive of the Christmas Day attack was not immediately clear.

Wow, could the motive be the religion of peace still doesn't like us given the attempted terrorist's name and affiliation with Al Qaeda?

Or maybe it was Northwest didn't serve food on the flight?

So many possible politically correct motives....

Merry Christmas to my Christian friends and readers, and this scum's failure is a worthy new miracle for Christmas.
