Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 23-year-old Nigerian, attempted to detonate a Semtex (petn) bomb attached to his underwear while on board a Northwest airlines plane on its way to Detroit on Christmas day. The bomber who failed to fully inject the trigger fluid into the Petn powder correctly was what saved the lives of the passengers of the flight. Petn exploded setting Umar’s pants, the floor, and part of the fuselage. Umar's inexperience was the key to saving all those lives. It later emerged the Nigerian was on a US watchlist of terror suspects but was not on a “no-fly” list and had a visa to enter the country. The United States government admitted failure over the terror plot to blow up the commercial airliner. Al Qaeda terrorist in Yemen is claiming responsiblity.
