Officials have charged a Nigerian man with attempting to blow up a plane upon landing in Detroit.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, is set to make his initial court appearance later Saturday. He is accused of setting off a device aboard a Northwest flight upon landing in Detroit, which resulted in a fire and what appears to have been an explosion.
Abdulmutallab was reportedly subdued and restrained by the passengers and flight crew. The airplane landed shortly thereafter, and he was taken into custody by Customs and Border Patrol officers.
Preliminary FBI analysis found that the device contained PETN, also known as pentaerythritol, a highly explosive device. FBI agents recovered what appear to be the remnants of the syringe from the vicinity of Abdulmutallab's seat, believed to have been part of the device.
Abdulmutallab required medical treatment, and was transported to the University of Michigan Medical Center after the plane landed.
Interviews of all of the passengers and crew of Flight 253 revealed that prior to the incident, Abdulmutallab went to the bathroom for approximately 20 minutes, according to the affidavit. Upon returning to his seat, the suspect stated that his stomach was upset, and he pulled a blanket over himself.
