True Pathos

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was apparently one depressed dude, posting his misery on the internet in the months ahead of his failed attempt to bomb an airliner full of travelers.

He had worries aplenty, with his devout religiosity (which is not being mocked here)in a secular world full of temptations.

However it appears that those terrorists in Yemen took advantage of Umar’s worries about keeping his male urges under control, and talked him into wearing a bomb in his underwear.

Pharmer finds that just plain cruel, and the PUNCH, a Nigerian newspaper appears to be the only one correctly identifying where Umar got toasted. Yep, the worries about controlling those urges are now most likely moot.

Umar is likely seeing his fate as worse than death, and perhaps stands as the best warning to other would-be suicide bombers.
