Underwear bomber gets mandatory life in prison sentence without parole

Underwear bomber

Newscast Media DETROIT, Michigan — The underwear bomber who attempted to detonate a bomb on Northwest Airlines Airbus A330 jet after a long flight from Amsterdam, to Detroit in 2009, has been sentenced to life without parole. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian, plead guilty and said the bomb was a “blessed weapon” to avenge poorly treated Muslims worldwide.

Adulmutallab spoke before the judge and said the Quran instructs Muslims to kill people in the name of God. He also says Jews must be driven out of Palestine.

“The Quran obliges every able Muslim to participate in jihad and fight in the way of Allah those who fight you, and kill them wherever you find them … an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” Abdulmutallab said.

In September 2010 after suspecting that his attorneys did not have his best interest at heart, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab asked the same US District Court Judge Nancy Edmunds to let him represent himself.

Abdulmutallab asked Judge Edmunds: “If I want to plead guilty to some counts, how would that work?”

The judge told him that a standby lawyer would be available to answer that type of question. Abdulmutallab however, plead guilty to all charges. Right before sentencing, Abdulmutallab called it a day of victory.
