THE PROGRESSIVE REVIEW - January 11, 2010
Suspect in Airplane Bombing Attempt Indicted,
Faces Life in Prison
by: Shashank Bengali
McClatchy Newspapers
Washington - A federal grand jury on Wednesday indicted
the suspect in the foiled Christmas Day airline bombing
on six criminal counts that could bring a life sentence
if he's convicted.
In a seven-page indictment, a grand jury in Michigan
charged that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 23-year-old
Nigerian, attempted to use "a weapon of mass destruction"
by starting a fire with explosive chemicals he'd smuggled
onto Northwest Airlines Flight 253, which was carrying
289 other passengers and crew members to Detroit.
"The attempted murder of 289 innocent people merits the
most serious charges available, and that's what we have
charged in this indictment," said U.S. Attorney Barbara
L. McQuade, the U.S. attorney for the eastern district
of Michigan.
The other charges against Abdulmutallab are attempted
murder, attempted destruction of the aircraft, placing
a destructive device aboard the plane and two counts of
possessing a destructive device.

A Justice Department spokesman said that Abdulmutallab,
who's in federal custody, would appear in the U.S.
district court in Detroit at 2 p.m. Friday to be
arraigned.
Investigators say Abdulmutallab told them he was acting
on orders from an al Qaida-affiliated group by igniting
a fire shortly before the plane landed in Detroit on
Dec. 25. He set his pants legs and the wall of the plane
ablaze before passengers subdued him and smothered the
flames, according to witnesses.
In an earlier criminal complaint, the Justice Department
said the bomb contained pentaerythritol, a colorless,
organic compound that's similar to nitroglycerin. The
indictment announced Wednesday said it also contained
triacetone triperoxide, a relatively easy-to-obtain
explosive and a weapon of choice for suicide bombers in
the Middle East, according to the independent Web site
Globalsecurity.org.

Failed "shoe bomber" Richard Reid also used both
explosives. Passengers on an airliner subdued him in
December 2001 while he was trying to ignite PETN in
his shoe.
"The bomb was designed to allow defendant Umar Farouk
Abdulmutallab to detonate it at a time of his choosing,
and to thereby cause an explosion aboard Flight 253,"
the indictment charges.
Attorney General Eric Holder said that the investigation
"has already yielded valuable intelligence that we will
follow wherever it leads."
The incident aboard the flight, which originated in
Amsterdam, has restarted a massive debate over air
security, including the use of controversial body-
scanning devices at airports.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said that 300
additional whole-body scanners would be in place at U.S.
airports by the end of the year, compared with 40 today.
Proponents argue that the devices could have detected the
explosives that Abdulmutallab is accused of carrying, while
critics say they're an invasion of passengers' privacy.
Speaking on CNN, Napolitano said that the scanners, which
cost about $170,000 each, were worth the investment.
"Look, we can't give 100 percent guarantees here,"
Napolitano said. "I don't think Americans disagree with
that. They understand that. But they also understand and
we understand that improved technology can help minimize
the risk, and that's what these scanners assist us in
doing."
