Attempted Plane Bomber Released From Hospital

December 27, 2009 Crime, International, Terrorism No Comments

Nigerian citizen Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who  was charged with trying to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight near Detroit Christmas Day, was released from a hospital in the custody of federal marshals Sunday.
A spokeswoman for federal prosecutors in Detroit, Gina Balaya , says Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is being kept in a secure location. She offered no other details Sunday.

The 23-year-old Abdulmutallab was being treated for burns at University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor. He was charged Saturday with attempting to destroy or wreck an aircraft and placing a destructive device in a plane.
The FBI says a device containing an explosive was attached to his body Friday while aboard a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam. Passengers put out the fire and subdued him.

And a nice article on Jasper Schuringa who assisted in taking Umar down.

Salutations to all the brave men and women on the flight who did their part.
