The System Worked: Underwear Bomber’s Dad Reported “Disturbing Phone Call” To The CIA

December 31st, 2009

And yet, still, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab managed to get on a US-bound airplane without a passport and despite being on the no-fly list.

But don’t worry.  The government could totally make your health care more efficient.

The accused “underwear bomber” made a dramatic final call to his father that he found so alarming, the father approached Nigerian officials who took him directly to the CIA’s station chief in the Nigerian capital, sources told ABC News.

Current and former officials of the Nigerian government, including a source close to the suspect’s family, say Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, called his father from Yemen with the warning that it would be his last contact.

It has previously been reported that the man’s father, prominent Nigerian banker Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, went to Nigerian and American officials Nov. 19 to warn them that his son had been radicalized by Islamic militants in Yemen.

Going on nine years after 9/11 and we still can’t get it right.  Maybe we never will.

Which just means our mission in the middle east, addressing the root causes of this sort of terrorism, is all that more important.
