A Michigan man who was aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253 says he witnessed Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab trying to board the plane in Amsterdam without a passport. Kurt Haskell of Newport, Mich. ... talked exclusively with MLive.com and confirmed he was on the flight by sending a picture of his boarding pass. He and his wife, Lori, were returning from a safari in Uganda when they boarded the NWA flight on Friday. Haskell said he and his wife were sitting on the ground near their boarding gate in Amsterdam, which is when they saw Mutallab approach the gate with an unidentified man. While Mutallab was poorly dressed, his friend was dressed in an expensive suit, Haskell said. He says the suited man asked ticket agents whether Mutallab could board without a passport. “The guy said, 'He's from Sudan and we do this all the time.'” Mutallab is Nigerian. Haskell believes the man may have been trying to garner sympathy for Mutallab's lack of documents by portraying him as a Sudanese refugee. The ticket agent referred Mutallab and his companion to her manager down the hall, and Haskell didn't see Mutallab again until after he allegedly tried to detonate an explosive on the plane. As Mutallab was being led out of the plane in handcuffs, Haskell said he realized that was the same man he saw trying to board the plane in Amsterdam. About an hour after landing, Haskell said he saw another man being taken into custody. But a spokeswoman from the FBI in Detroit said Mutallab was the only person taken into custody.

"They were sitting about 20 rows behind Abdulmutallab, in a center aisle with her husband and daughter a row ahead of her and their two new adopted children, a six-year-old girl and an eight-year-old boy.

Her daughter said that ahead of them was a man who videotaped the entire flight, including the attempted detonation.


"He sat up and videotaped the entire thing, very calmly," said Patricia. "We do know that the FBI is looking for him intensely. Since then, we've heard nothing about it." ?


(extra points if you can pronounce 'Oconomowoc' !)


i think it's way too early to draw conclusions, other than that the Crotch-bomber had accomplices who are being ignorred in the mainstream media in the first week after the incident.

How about the possibility that the "photographer" was part of the FBI doing the filming of the provocation and alleged capture of the perported terrorist?
If the photographer was part of this "terrorist plot", don't you think he would have known that, with success of the plot, he wouldn't have survived so what would have been the purpose of the filming? DUH! and surprise, surprise the FBI is saying that they are actively looking for this person - don't you think they would know who was sitting in that seat and where he was from and where he lived -they know everything else about everyone on planes these days.
How about a little healthy skepticism of what the media and our government are reporting?
Once again we are being scammed into fear just as we were with the "terrorist attack" of 9/11 - it's time to wake up and understand what it means to be brain washed and manipulated by those who manufactured that event - major clue: it wasn't "them" - do some research into what really happened - we have been victims long enough and only the truth will set us free...
