NORTHWEST AIRLINES BOMBER WAS PROMISED MILLIONS IN EXCHANGE FOR A SMALL DOWNPAYMENT
December 27 2009
Detroit, MI – Almost a decade removed from the worst terrorist attack in history tensions remain high in the United States and throughout the world as the promise of future attacks continue to present themselves. While no incidents on the scale of the 
World Trade Center attacks has ever been perpetrated again, smaller attacks and failed attempts routinely remind us that the threat remains true and in order to prevent other tragedies such as what happened on that day we must remain vigilant.
Of course criminal elements are constantly fighting against the tide of good will, threatening the shores of the civilized with a wave of chaos and death. Organizations like Al Qaeda remain an ever present threat to global security. Now a new element has emerged in the wake of a failed attempt to bomb a Northwest airlines flight in Detroit in the form of a crime once considered to be simply a nuisance. The Nigerian 419 scam has become a common occurren
ce in the web age with its promises of millions in
exchange for a small investment. Preying on the good will and the desire to get rich quick of many, the 419 scam has become notorious for fleecing susceptible individuals of their life savings and now it appears has become a major tool in the terror war against the west.
“It appears that the individual attempted to ignite a small explosive device attached to his ankle while the plane was in flight. The device malfunctioned and simply let off a small fire which was quickly extinguished by passengers and flight personnel. The suspect was taken into custody as soon as the flight landed,” said a Northwest spokesperson. “We are very fortunate that the device malfunctioned as it would have caused major destruction had it gone off as intended. That would have made for a very un-merry Christmas for all of us and we are all very happy with the way it turned out.”
The suspect was identified as 23-year old Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, a Nigerian man who is claiming ties to Al Qaeda.
“There will be a lot of fallout over this incident, both at a security level and at a political level but what is really going to be the focus, or at least should be, is the ongoing problem of these Nigerian scams. For years these 
scams have been an issue that few people pay much attention to but that is all likely to change now,” said Scrape TV Terrorism analyst Doug Davids. “Immediately the
connection between this incident and the email scams was being talked about but apparently new evidence linking the two is starting to come to light. This new level of aggression in trying to perpetrate these scams is something no one expected and I think will become a major issue going forward. Emailing someone repeatedly is one thing, trying to blow them up is something else entirely.”
Terrorism experts have long expected that Al Qaeda was running low on funds after being on the run for eight years but this new development has even taken them by surprise.
“It’s really a very clever way to get money, from the very people you are targeting with bombs. Now Americans will essentially being paying for the implements that will kill them, something that has never been done in the history of warfare on any level,” continued Davids. “True the Vietcong used America weapons, so did the Iraqi military, but those were done in retrospect. This is the first time a group has actively recruited funds from an opponent in order to further their cause. Really it’s quite brilliant.”
Mutallab has reportedly offered police millions in exchange for his release.
