'''Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab''' is a [[Muslim]] terrorist from [[Nigeria]], acting on orders from [[Al Qaeda]] to blow up a commercial American airliner on Christmas Day 2009. Abdulmutallab flew Northwest Flight 253 bound for Detroit, <ref>[http://newsmax.com/Newsfront/US-New-Terror-Threat/2009/12/26/id/344659 Failed Xmas Attack Raises New Security Concerns, NewsMax, December 26, 2009]</ref> tried and failed to detonate a explosive device before being taken into custody.

He used [[PETN]], a powerful plastic explosive. A few ounces can blast open an airplane, so it is the preferred weapon of terrorists. Abdulmutallab tried to ignite a two-part concoction of PETN and possibly a glycol-based liquid explosive. It set off popping, smoke and some fire but no deadly detonation, because he used the wrong technique.
