Suspected 'Underwear bomber' flew Ethiopian Airlines - Report

The Associated Press reports that the 23-year old Nigerian man suspected of trying to blow up a U.S. airliner flew Ethiopian Airlines from Dubai to Accra, Ghana via Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The report said, he spent two weeks in Ghana before flying to Lagos on Christmas Eve.

Ghana's Deputy Information Minister Samuel Okudzeto-Ablakwa said Mr. Abdulmutallab arrived at 3:20 a.m. on Dec. 9, on an Ethiopian Airlines flight from Dubai via Addis Ababa, according to the Wall Street Journal.

It is not known whether he spent any time in Ethiopia apart from transit.

the boy is CIA patsy. I don't believe in this story. If one wants to kill Americans, why would go through all this hurdles, where one can find easy targets -- bullshit fear mongering american media

That is not surprising, the Airline is often a safe haven for all kind of criminals, it is well known for woman, children and drug trafficking all over the world ,that is why still very backward relatively to its age. For Ethiopian leaders, who came empty handed and with no knowledge to control the power, they could not find it easy to manage an international airline business like that of establishing domestic bank overnight just by transferring money from one to another one.

If this report is true and Abdulmutallab did smuggle the bomb material via Dubai, Addis, Accra and Amsterdam, we can rest assured :-( that the system has failed equally at all these points (and perhaps more).

But if you want to test the security of the ethiopian airline, try one day and on the same day your soul depart to hell with your body.

comment by Analyist ,..."that is why Ethiopian Airlines is backward relatively to its age", is irrelevant to the story posted.Ethiopian Airlines is one of the safest,best and fast growing air carriers in the world.Therefore, if you do not know what you talk about,it is safe to shut your mouth.

The Security must be tighter than ever in ET.
ET was the first victim when its brand new 767 was blown in the Comoros islands.

Because he flew Ethiopian, 300 innocent souls were rescued on Christmas Day.

"Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, 'But we knew nothing about this,' does not He who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not He who guards your life know it? Will He not repay each person according to what he has done?" -Proverbs 24:11-12

Merry Gena!

I just saw National Geographic "Inside the Quran" Must see all. Even though Quran, like Bible means well, it is misinterpreted by the extremists. Guess what, by extremists such as the Whabi from Saudi. Since the involvement of Alamoudi, who is welcomed by some greedy Ethiopians including Weyane, Ethiopia Muslims especially the OLF Muslims have become extremist. I just saw at Mecca OLF flag in the middle of the Mecca pilgrimige and there was no other Flags during the pilgrmige. This tells us that, the Wahabism influence on our Muslim people. Ethiopia is now a hot zone for extremism and the fight to turn Ethiopia into a Muslim extremist, like Saudi nation. BTW, Wahabism is the most dangerous form of Islam compared to the rest because it has agenda to spread Wahabism by distorting Quran and spreading violence in the Name of Islam. Osama is the product of that. Wahabism does not respect also Mohammed's message to respect Ethiopia. God help us. So that is why the Nigerian guy has been comfortable in passing through Ethiopia. Let us not forget the recent involvement of Ethiopians in Afghanistan.

Pray to moderate religion!

Just wondering how would it have been possible to enjoy his honeymoon with the 72 virgins had he blown his thingy? Hey, there is nothing moderate in that religion. Its just satanic to encourage someone to be a flying mince.

Tebeqa, ET 767 was not blown in comoros island, it was hijacked by drunk asylem seekers and crashed after running out of fuel. That would never have happened if corrupt idiot Seye Abraha, then TPLF ET chairman, had not removed all ET on board security staff after accusing them of being ex-Derg. ET domestic and international got hijaked 11 times after that!

This same monkey who is ultra radical TPLF has now been allowed to join Birtukan medeksa party.

Ethiopian politics is all a lie, live your own life people, don't waste your time!
