The Terrorists have been here quite a while. We have do do something about them. My hero is the guy that smashed out the flames, crawling across the other passengers, to do so, in this case. And remember the 9/11 hijackers, had pilot courses right in the good old U.S. We had better be acting on the Terrorists before they can strike.

Update: Al Qaeda takes the Blame!
From cnn.com

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula claimed responsibility for the attempted Christmas Day terrorist attack on a plane about to land in the U.S., saying it was in retaliation for alleged U.S. strikes on Yemeni soil.

In the statement, published on radical Islamist Web sites, the group hailed the "brother" who carried out the "heroic attack." The group said it tested a "new kind of explosives" in the attack, and hailed the fact that the explosives "passed through security."

The group threatened further attacks, saying, "since Americans support their leaders they should expect more from us."

"We have prepared men who love to die," the statement dated Saturday said.

Part of the explosive device was sewn into AbdulMutallab's underwear, a law enforcement official told CNN Monday.

The amount of explosive involved was sufficient to blow a hole in the aircraft, a source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN Sunday.

"After his father contacted the embassy recently, we coded his visa file so that, had he attempted to renew his visa months from now, it would have triggered an in-depth review of his application," a U.S. official said.
