Underwear bomber says Awlaki is alive

[Joshua Farrell]

A Nigerian man accused of attempting to blow up a Detroit-bound plane using explosives sewn into his underwear has made another courtroom outburst.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 24, shouted "Anwar is alive" during jury selection for his trial at the court in Detroit.

He was apparently referring to Anwar al-Awlaki, a US-born al-Qaeda recruiter killed in a drone strike last week.

Mr Abdulmutallab is defending himself after firing his court-appointed lawyers.

In a September pre-trial hearing, the accused called out "Osama's alive", and refused to stand up for a judge. He also said "jihad".

I find this whole thing a bit funny. Considering the bombs were sewn into clothing. 😀

What are your opinions on this?
