Is the Nigerian bomber story a racist hoax?

The Nigerian bombers story is full of holes and increasingly subject to criticism from such commentators as the US-based Black Agenda Report, Pan African News Wire, Mathaba News and also Veterans Today and Alex Jones. In fact, the story we have been told is not what happened.


The Nigerian Al Qaida bomber story is set to damage black people worldwide despite growing doubts about its credibility.

Evidence of hidden truth includes an October 2008 Yemeni government announcement of the arrest of an Israeli-backed Al Qaida cell that had attacked the US embassy.

The story has another Israeli connection because Alhaji Mutallab, father of bomber, Abdul, has had regular contact with its spy agency, Mossad.

Black leaders should be warned that a myth is developing that could convince them to accept self-defeating policies from the West.

Black people should try to overcome any psychological obstacles to questioning a Western agenda that will ramp up intervention in Africa and treat them as potential terrorists.

The Israeli connection is raised in a BBC report that quoted Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. He told a gathering at Mukalla University in Hadramawt province: "A terrorist cell was arrested and will be referred to the judicial authorities for its links with the Israeli intelligence services."

Mutallab’s father was a government minister and prominent banker. He also ran Nigeria’s defence industry that has constant support from Israeli intelligence.

Other evidence challenging the official account of Flight 253 from Amsterdam to the US comes from Detroit Attorney and passenger, Kurt Haskell.

He claims that a:
• well-dressed Indian helped Mutallab get on the flight without a passport,
• second Indian man, who was a passenger, was arrested as a suspect bomber,
• passenger on the plane filmed the whole event.

After initially denying the second arrest, US officials have now admitted it but claimed that it was unconnected to the Mutallab bomb attempt.

Western media have already admitted that US and UK intelligence had advance warning of the attack, knew that Mutallab had links with extremists, and suggested that the planned airport body scanners is a scam.

Yet, there are other anomalies being reported in alternative media:

• CIA has been helping ‘rogue’ Yemen to fight ‘terrorists’ for a year,

• Mutallab’s central London flat, according to the UK Land Registry, was not owned by his father’s but by a US airline company,

• Alhaji warned a retired security officer about his son but not the actual Nigerian Intelligence Agency (NIA),

According to Pan African News Wire, the Nigerian Guardian has reported:
‘The Guardian gathered last night that even as the NIA chief executive faces the challenge of answering the query from the NSA, the presidency has been told that contrary to earlier reports that the lead and indeed activities of Umar Farouk (Jnr) were reported to Nigeria's security agencies, "the father only reported it to a former National Security official who served under President Obasanjo, who in turn reportedly informed one of the directors at the National Intelligence Agency (NIA). The director obviously did nothing about the lead until the current incident happened.”

The official story claims that Abdul Mutallab wanted revenge for US bombing in Afghanistan. He had become radicalised while studying in London and living in a £4m flat. He was trained by a growing and active Al Qaida cell in Yemen. But his potentially powerful, chemical powder bomb failed to detonate and only injured him.

Yet, US, UK and NATO intelligence have carried out terrorism under the guise of the Left in the 1980s. The head of Italy’s security service was jailed for his involvement in the Red Brigade terrorism that included the infamous Bologna rail station bombing.

The current story does not add up. Would anyone believe that an Afghani would do a suicide bombing because of the deaths of Nigerian people relating to Shell Oil’s activity?

Despite the many innocent victims of US bombing in Afghanistan, we haven’t we heard of a single Afghani suicide bomb attempt on a US passenger jet.

There is no reason to believe that a young, wealthy Nigerian, would kill himself and others for Afghanistan, whether under Al Qaida mind control or not.

An immediate affect of the official account will be that flying, particularly to and from Africa, will be made more difficult than usual. More people of African descent in the UK and US would come under racial profiling and surveillance.

Meanwhile, the West will increase its intervention in black Africa affairs and blame Al Qaida. The US will also claim that they have a good reason to set up the military base that they have wanted. They will resort to a greater use of military contractors and special operations. African nations could face more conflict and even less democracy.

On the back of Al Qaida in Africa will follow Western leaders’ quiet push to use the IMF and World Bank to create a pan-African government. It would have a central bank, a single currency and single military command dependent on the West. Although, some African leaders are fronting the pan-African idea, the US is behind it.

But, nations could find themselves in more debt to Western banks and end up supporting Western companies take over African resources.

If the West’s panic over global warming is added, Africans may have to agree to slowing down their economic development and seeking ways to reduce their populations.

Black people should question the ‘Al Qaida in black Africa’ story before it takes root and does harm.
