<\/a>Nigerian Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab attempted to blow up a Delta jet yesterday en route from Amsterdam to Detroit Metropolitan Airport in the US. The suspect is a UK Engineering student. He attempted to combine a powder and liquid explosive mix before he was overpowered by a fellow passenger. The suspect now claims to have ties to Al Qaeda, based in Yemen. He told authorities that he was traveling to Detroit for a \"religious seminar.\" <\/p>

The White House is taking a cautious approach. <\/p>

From the BBC<\/a>, 3 hours ago:<\/p>

President Barack Obama, on holiday in Hawaii, has ordered increased security for air travel. <\/p>

White House spokesman Bill Burton said the president was monitoring the situation.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Meanwhile the Washington Post<\/a> reports:<\/p>

The FBI is investigating the incident. President Obama, celebrating Christmas in Hawaii, was informed about it, a spokesman said... Officials said they are not prepared to raise the terrorism alert level, currently at orange -- or the second-highest of five levels -- for domestic and international air travel. <\/p><\/blockquote>

WaPo notes a delay in notifying Obama, who \"was told of the incident about three hours after the plane landed.\" <\/p>

UPDATE!<\/strong><\/p>

Ace of Spades is now headlining that the Washington Post changed their story to reflect a more favorable \"hands on\" view of the White House. They changed their original piece deleting the mention of Obama being told of the Terrorist incident 3 hours later. Asks Ace<\/a>:<\/p>

So why was the President allowed to snooze in Hawaii undisturbed?<\/p>

I'm trying to not get too partisan about this, but it sure seems to me that this evidences a casualness about terrorist incidents that seems pretty dangerous.<\/p><\/blockquote>
