Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab Biography

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is one of the most popular and richest Criminal who was born on December 22, 1986 in Nigeria, Nigeria. Nigerian criminal commonly referred to as “The Underwear Bomber”. He was arrested after attempting to donate explosives hidden in his underwear on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit in 2009.

He had ties to Anwar al-Awlaki, who in turn had ties to the perpetrators of the September 11th, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.

Abdulmutallab spent about 20 minutes in the toilet as the flight approached Detroit, and then covered himself with a blanket after returning to his seat. Other passengers then heard popping noises, smelled a foul odour, and some saw Abdulmutallab’s trouser leg and the wall of the plane on fire. Fellow passenger Jasper Schuringa, a Dutch film director, jumped on Abdulmutallab and subdued him as flight attendants used fire extinguishers to douse the flames. Abdulmutallab was taken toward the front of the aircraft cabin, was seen to have lost his trousers due to the fire, and had burns on his legs. When asked by a flight attendant what he had in his pocket, he replied: “Explosive device.” The device consisted of a six-inch (15 cm) packet which was sewn into his underwear containing the explosive powder PETN, which became a plastic explosive when mixed with the high explosive triacetone triperoxide (TATP) (the same two explosives that were used by Richard Reid in 2001), and a syringe containing liquid acid.

For the 2004–05 academic year, Abdulmutallab studied at the San’a Institute for the Arabic Language in Sana’a, Yemen, and attended lectures at Iman University.

His father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, was a successful businessman who had a total of sixteen children.

However, there is no clear evidence that the two men met in London. NPR reported that, according to unnamed intelligence officials, Abdulmutallab attended a sermon by al-Awlaki at the Finsbury Park Mosque “in the fall of 2006 or 2007”, but this was in error, as al-Awlaki was in prison in Yemen during that period. The Finsbury Park Mosque said neither Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab nor Anwar al-Awlaki had ever been invited to attend NLCM since February 2005. CBS News and The Sunday Telegraph initially reported that Abdulmutallab attended a talk by al-Awlaki at the East London Mosque (which al-Awlaki may have participated in by video teleconference), but the mosque officials said that the Sunday Telegraph was misinformed. They said that “Anwar Al Awlaki did not deliver any talks at the ELM between 2005 and 2008”.
