Pretty lame reason for Obama to start an African campaign...

Oh and by the way, african names have nothing to do with Middle Eastern and this man is way too "black" to be Middle Eastern.

No offense towards anyone but the American Government.
Im really tired of all this "Middle East is jealous of us cause we preserve freedom".

I had a good friend from Iran. We would go sailing together. After a good long day in the sun he would be Black as pitch.

Just a first hand observation.

People from Iran and Nigeria don't even come close to looking the same.
Very different peoples.

You havn't travelled much.
But anyway leaving side the historic ethnic diversity of pre colonial Nigeria, the increased diversity from the colonial era and now the more modern diversity from the oil production phase...can you tell me in simple but difinitive terms what colour a Nigerian is?
Now explain what colour a middle eaterner is.
Maybe explain what a black arab, Afro-turk and African Jew are amd show some colour as a measure.
While you are at it can you explain how someone who had nothing to do with the middle east was apparently in places like Dubai and Yemen, which if I am not much mistaken and they haven't moved across the globe are in a place known as the middle east.

Mate, there are differences between the color, face shape and body shape between the typical africans and typical middle eastern people. Im talking about typicals here.
How do you know that he travelled to Dubai and Yemen?
I've watched the Greek news and read some articles from international media and there was no mention that this guy was to middle east.

@XabbaRus
I've watched the news mate, in a Greek channel, broadcasted by BBC.
They said that the plane was on the ground at the time of the event and all the shots of the "terrorist" were showing him almost crawling.
They also said that he flew from Nigeria to Amsterdam, stayed a while and then flew to USA.
While they dont say it directly, they let it float. "This man was stoned".

Must be a different BBC as all my reports and BBC onine were saying on approach....

Then they must have messed up the translation.
The Greek media showed a plane on the ground and said it happened while the plane was down.

Greek Media must have misunderstood. The incident happend while on approach.

Which if your a terrorist makes alot of sense. It is probably the absolute worst time to have a crisis.

Anyhow... Deja Vue anyone?

The method of concealment, the use of PETN and the origin of the bomb -- Yemen -- make the Prince Nayef assassination attempt and the Northwest plot an almost perfect match.

By the way did anyone mention that the suspect recently returned from Yemen?
