The Netherlands and Nigeria are to begin using body scanners on US-bound flights following the attempted bombing of a plane over Detroit. The hi-tech devices will be installed at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport within three weeks, Dutch interior minister Guusje Ter Horst told a news conference in The Hague. Later, an aviation official in Nigeria said the country's international airports would be equipped with the scanners in the new year. Civil Aviation Authority chief Harold Demuren said: "Not many airports in the world are operating them right now, but Nigeria is determined because of the new face of the threat we are seeing, to acquire them." The Dutch government also denied reports it had information on Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, who tried to bring down Northwest Airlines Flight 253 on Christmas Day. The 23-year-old passed through security and metal detectors at Schipol, but was still able to board the plane with explosives hidden in his underwear. Ms Horst said the new full-body wave scanners are able to alert customs officials to non-metal objects in and around the body, so that a full body search can take place. She conceded this would pose privacy issues, but said this needed to be balanced against the safety of passengers. Mutallab was travelling on an Italian passport and spent several hours in the airport lounge before boarding the jet. He started his journey in Nigeria and connected through Amsterdam. Dutch agents are studying CCTV footage at the airport in an attempt to find the plotters after an al Qaeda group based in Yemen claimed responsibility for the failed blast. Ms Horst branded the attempted attack "amateurish" but added: "It is not exaggerating to say the world has escaped a disaster." Mutallab apparently assembled the device, including 80 grams of PETN, in the aircraft toilet and then intended to detonate it with a syringe of chemicals. She added: "No suspicious matters which would give reason to classify the person involved as a high-risk passenger were identified during the security check." US President Barack Obama has attacked the "systemic failure" in his own intelligence system that allowed the Nigerian to board the US-bound plane. He said the alleged terrorist's own father had warned about his son's extremist views but this information had not been properly distributed among US security agencies. American security services reportedly received intelligence weeks ago that "a Nigerian" in Yemen was planning a terrorist attack. Meanwhile, it has emerged that a man tried to board a plane in Mogadishu last month carrying powdered chemicals, liquid and a syringe similar to those allegedly used by Mutallab. The Somali man was arrested before the Daallo Airlines flight took off for the northern Somali city of Hargeisa. "We don't know whether he's linked with al Qaeda or other foreign organisations, but his actions were the acts of a terrorist. We caught him red-handed," said a Somali police spokesman.

I could tell you more of the good lady, but I do not want to, for one must respect the good lady’s privacy; her religious belief by the way is hers, it’s no secret, and she is not the only non-Muslim in Somalia, so leave her alone and in peace.

I kinda like NSUM actually ,,,, u know why?

(CNN) -- A man tried to board a commercial airliner in the Somali capital of Mogadishu last month with chemicals that authorities believe could have been used as an explosive device, an African Union official said Wednesday. The suspect, Abdi Hassan Abdi, tried to board a Daallo Airlines flight with a plastic bag containing 600 grams of ammonium nitrate and half a liter of concentrated sulfuric acid in a plastic bottle, according to Wafula Waminyinyi, the deputy special representative for the African Union Mission for Somalia. Waminyinyi said that Abdi also had approximately 5 milliliters of an unidentified liquid in a syringe that he tried to carry on board the flight, which was bound first for the northern Somali city of Hargeisa, then Djibouti, and then Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. He said that the African Union believes the chemicals could have caused an explosion. The details bear resemblance to those from the Christmas Day attempt to blow up a Northwest flight from Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Detroit, Michigan. A preliminary FBI analysis found that the device suspect Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab allegedly carried aboard contained pentaerythritol tetranitrate, an explosive also known as PETN. The amount of explosive was sufficient to blow a hole in the aircraft, a source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN Sunday. Part of the explosive device was sewn into the suspect's underwear. And FBI agents recovered what appear to be the remnants of a syringe near the seat. Because the syringe was destroyed, investigators are having trouble determining the accelerant the suspect tried to use to light the explosive. AbdulMutallab, of Nigeria, is in custody in the United States and charged with attempting to destroy an aircraft. In the November 11 incident in Somalia, African Union peacekeeping forces arrested Abdi after they searched him and discovered the chemicals, Waminyinyi said. He had drawn suspicion because he was the last one to board the flight, Waminyinyi said. No further details were immediately available. Abdi was handed over to the Somali National Security Agency, and Waminyinyi believes he remains in custody.
