Christmas Day Terrorist Attack In Detroit
The attack happened around noon Friday when a man tried to blow up Northwest Flight 253 from Amsterdam, carrying 290 people, as it approached Detroit Metro Airport.
U.S. authorities have charged Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, allegedly linked to the al-Qaida terror network, with attempting to destroy an aircraft and placing a destructive device on board the plane.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened from this botched terrorist attack, else it will be a Christmas Day tragedy.
The explosion went off as the plane was landing and the terrorist suffered second degree burns while a heroic passenger who stopped him received minor injuries.
A lot of innocent people can die in a terrorist attack. Is it worth to make a statement by causing so much suffering and grief? However, there is nothing much we can do except to stay vigilant and never take our security for granted.
By the way, security at airports are now tightened up. If you are travelling during this busy holiday season, you just have to endure the thorough checks. Just make sure you check in earlier.
