Why Nigerian Suicide Bomber Abdulmutallab Couldn't Blow Up US Plane

   

The United States has revealed that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, popularly referred to as the "Underwear Bomber" could not blow up a U.S plane because the explosives he was wired with became 'degraded' after he wore the same pair of underpants for two weeks.

Nigerian Eye reported that U.S. Head of the Transportation Security Administration, John Pistole, said during the week that the bomb failed to detonate because of how long Abdulmutallab had been wearing his underwear.

 Pistole was quoted saying, "The bomber had had the device with him for over two weeks." He also explained that the explosive had become damp due to the length of days Abdulmutallab carried the device in his underwear.

Abdulmutallab who described the bomb in his underwear was a 'blessed weapon' to avenge poorly treated Muslims around the world was sentenced to life without parole in February 2012 after he pleaded guilty to all charges on the second day of his trial the previous October.
