Jasper Schuringa who? “Jasper Schuringa” is the most searched phrase on Google at the time of this entry was being written up. As indicated in the post title, Jasper Schuringa was a Northwest Flight 253 passenger who helped subdue Abdul Umar Farouk Muttalab after the 23-year-old Nigerian Muslim radical’s attempted terrorism attack on the airplane just landing at Detroit Metro Airport on December25, 2009. Schuringa emerged from nowhere after CNN mentioned his name in the report where the cable news network published a photo exclusively obtained showing Umar Farouk Muttalab was taken away by the US marshals from the jet. Jasper Schuringa told CNN that with the aid of the cabin crew, he helped tackled Abdulmutallab after the Nigerian man detonated an explosive device strapped on his leg. Earlier reports said “another passenger …quickly helped subdue and isolate the young male suspect with the aid of the cabin crew,” apparently now it is clear who ’s that “another passenger.” He is none other than Jasper Schuringa.” Kudos to brave Jasper!

Update: Jasper Schuringa, is a video director from Netherlands. Click here to read New York Daily News’s details on his deeds:

Nigerian man Abdul Mudallad is a terrorist! Abdul Mudallad, also Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, failed to blow up a Northwest Airlines Airbus 300 flying from Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport to Detroit Metro Airport on Christmas after when was successfully tackled by the on-board personel the moment after he ignited an explosive device. Northwest Airline is a subsidiary of Delta Airlines.

It was reported Abdul Mudallad had strapped explosive powder on his leg and used a syringe of liquid chemicals to mix with the powder to cause explosion. Reports said the 23-year-old man’s name was included a terrorist connection database but not on a “no-fly” list.

Abdul Mudallad was a engineering student from 2005 to 2008 at University College of London. ABC reported he was flying from Nigeria to the United States for a religious seminar based his entry visa which was issued June 16, 2008 and was good until June 12, 2010.

Abdul Mudallad told the investigation police he was acting of behalf of al-Qaeda and had received the explosives in Yemen. The attempted terrorism bomb attack of Mudallad on Friday afternoon caused several people to suffer from slight injuries but did inflict the 3-degree burns on himself. No mercy to him! Abdul Mudallad should be jailed for the lifetime! (more…)
