Abdulmutallab, Gets Mandatory Life In Jail
Friday, February 17, 2012Omoba
US District Judge Nancy
Edmunds has sentenced Nigerian born 'underwear' bomber Umar Abdulmutallab to
mandatory life sentence. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab,
25, was sentenced after pleading guilty in October to eight charges, including
the attempted murder of 289 people on board Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines
Flight 253.
Abdulmutallab praised Allah
and ranted that his life and the life of Muslims has changed. He said al-Qaida
leader Osama bin Laden and other terrorists the government says were killed are
alive.
He called his sentencing
hearing a day of victory and claimed U.S. attorneys on his case intentionally
misquoted him and mishandled his case "to achieve their Hebrew
goals." He said the Jews need to be "ripped out of Palestine … the
capital of the Muslim world."
Assistant U.S. Attorney
Cathleen Corken played an FBI video to demonstrate the destructive force of
explosives similar to those Abdulmutallab carried. A brief but intense flame
was seen in slow motion when the explosives were detonated in an outdoor field on
a sheet of aluminum sitting on two wooden sawhorses.Details of the sentence
soon
