They pour through 300 internet messages that federal authorities believe to be from Abdulmutallab;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I have no one to speak too [sic],&#8221; read a posting from January 2005, when Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was attending boarding school. &#8220;No one to consult, no one to support me and I feel depressed and lonely. I do not know what to do. And then I think this loneliness leads me to other problems.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Boo-fricken-hoo for the incompetent boob. The Post uncatalogued his education and privilege;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Farouk1986 wrote about considering applications to U.S. and British universities, including University College London, where officials said Abdulmutallab enrolled in a mechanical engineering course from September 2005 to June 2008. He also wrote about his family&#8217;s wealth; Abdulmutallab&#8217;s father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, a frequent visitor to the United States, retired this year as chairman of First Bank of Nigeria and still sits on the boards of several prominent Nigerian firms. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yet with all of that education, opportunity and a month spent training in Yemen, the retard couldn&#8217;t blow his own balls off. At this point, I don&#8217;t think we need to waste time trying to mitigate his actions for him. It&#8217;s pretty clear that he&#8217;s guilty since he&#8217;s wearing the scars of his failures. I&#8217;m against the death penalty, but this doofus tests my convictions. <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2009\/dec\/29\/al-qaeda-takes-credit-for-plot-to-down-plane\/\">Washington Times<\/a> reports that an al Qaeda group in Yemen took credit for the attack;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, a group that claims loyalty to Osama bin Laden, said in posts left on jihadist Web forums that the plot against Northwest Airlines Flight 253 was launched in response to recent &#8220;American aggression&#8221; in Yemen, which has been the site of recent U.S. predator drone attacks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well, the drone attacks were in response to countless acts of Muslim agression, dimbulb.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The group boasted that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab managed to avoid detection by screening machines when he boarded a plane in Amsterdam bound for Detroit with &#8220;a technologically advanced [explosive] device&#8221; hidden in his underpants. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The device was so &#8220;technologically advanced&#8221; that it couldn&#8217;t be detonated by the panty bomber after a month&#8217;s training. <\/p>\n<p>The Yemeni group claims the attempt was in response to drones, but I&#8217;m guessing their Iranian masters timed the event to give cover to their own crackdown in Tehran. Afterall, the guy had been training for a month before the drones attacked terrorist compounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington Post takes the time and the column inches to drum up sympathy for Umar Farouk &hellip; <a title=\"Sympathy for the devil\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=16406\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Sympathy for the devil<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16406\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
