I can see the western press have a pic of suspect bomber which some claims was obtained from Sahara Reporters.
It shows a young male of 16-19 age range in my opinion wearing a white collared shirts with most of the top buttons opened.
However, i have just seen another picture on guardian website which looks completely different from this pic being paraded all over the place.
Will upload shortly

the BBC photo showed him when he was a teenager.the one in the Guardian is a recent photo

get your facts right b4 posting

Sahara Version

Where is the moderator?   I thought the old idea of removing the incompetent mod and replacing him with a new person is to deal with stupid thread like this?

Gosh who am I kidding, this is nairaland - Full of c.rap.

What exactly is silly in someone trying to post 2 versions of the pictures?
Is this wrong?
All that has been done is to highlight the fact there is an older pic and a much younger school boy pic being circulated

You have a brain right? I am guessing you do, so please engage it. There is something called "Bandwidth" it cost money. You see, it even cost money to run a forum. Now imagine, everytime you make a useless thread, you are burning money and you are clogging up the internet with unnecessary junk for everyone.

There is a thread - about 40 pages plus - on the same topic. there isnt a need to create one just for the sole purpose of making a silly point. Seriously, can that point not be made in the existing thread? Further more, the issues of the images have been addressed before, so you are like 48 hours late. If you have taken time to read the existing thread, instead of coming to create a crap one, then you would realise.


Finally, useless thread like yours do nothing but drags down the quality of debate here. It is not a must you have to make a thread. Before you do, check if there is an existing topic on what you want to make first. If you see something on the internet and want to bring it to the attention of others, there is a chance millions of people have seen it before you, and a very good chance there is an existing thread.

If anyone doesn't have a brain, it is you and no one else.
Your style of writing says it all.
I would be wasting my time engaging your in further chat, Mr Bandwidth, I know it all!!!Mr my father owns here!!!

You can write whatever you wish but i wont bother with you anymore. Silence is best answer for your type.

If it stops you from making further useless threads, then I'll say "Mission accomplished".

You have been trolling most recently.

I have my doubts with the Guardian, that guy looks above 40  years and above

Dude do you even know what trolling means? Yes you are the mod, and yes there are stupid thread flourishing. If you cannot see what is wrong with this thread, then you are as useful as the last moderator that was removed.

This is just another daft thread. . . What is the point of posting pictures the whole of the world has seen. . .
Why wont a grown man use his common sense to differentiate between a young (old) picture and recent picture?
For bloody hell sake, can the admin and moderators stop allowing silly threads to be opened. . . .

Get fuc.king lost, we have seen all the pictures and so has the world so it doesnt warrant opening a new thread. . .
There are a dozen discussions already relating to the incident where pictures were put up for people to see. . . .
For fuc.k sake stop opening daft threads!!!

Shut up man. Kosovo thinks you are just trolling. This thread is perfect.

I have just confirmed that Guardian news got ther picture from Facebook page of Abdul Mutallab.
However, it is yet to be confirmed that it is the same Mutallab cos his personal info is limited on Facebook page unless he adds you as his friend,

Hello Kosovo,

Just seen your PM. but for some reason can't reply thru the same means. Don't know why though.
Answer to your question is - Yes

Many thanks and compliments of the season

Drama continues,
Guardian News have now withdrawn the picture earlier circulated on their front page and website today with the following statement:

APOlOGY: The photograph,which was widely circulated on international wire service, and which appeared on this page earlier (and is published on the front page of The Guardian today) is not that of Farouk Umar Abdul Mutallab, who was arrested on Christmas day for attempted terrorist act on a Northwest Airlines. The error is regretted and we apologise to the person (and his family), whose image was wrongly published. Editor

@ Post,

I saw d smiling older picture yesterday on NL and believed it was d face of d would be bomber.
Today, I saw 2 pictures of d guy as a teenager on the cover page of thisday newspaper and i obviously disagreed that d old nd new pictures were same persons. There was no iota of resemblance. The facial features differed in all elements of configuration.
Reading through the sun newpapers today, i saw same picture i saw on NL yesterday as d face of d bomber. Hw did they verify d picture?
Now d guardian has been adjudged to be guilty of same misleading information.

Nigerian newspapers ought to carry out proper investigations and validation of stories before publishing.
Most of their reporters and supposed investigative journalists rely on NL and other related forums for information which they blindly publish.
NL jokers who specialize in perpetrating such nonsense should desist from this act and stop giving us a bad name.

Is he on facebook?

yes, he's on facebook but his account has limited access. They'll probably block it completely soon.




@ benin-man:


the first photo was initially posted by sahara reporters. They later took it down after someone claimed it wasnt him.



BBc has more pictures of the guy.

the problem with his photos is he doesnt look like a terrorist.

Is that not Siasia in the middle?
