Nigeria says plane
bomber began journey in Ghana
LAGOS (Reuters) - A Nigerian
man charged with trying to blow up a U.S.
passenger jet on Christmas Day began his
journey in Ghana and spent less than 30
minutes in Nigeria's Lagos airport, the
Nigerian government said on Thursday.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab has been charged
with trying to blow up Northwest Airlines
flight 253 as it approached Detroit from
Amsterdam on December 25 with almost 300
people on board.
"Further investigations by the Nigerian
government have revealed that Abdulmutallab
spent less than 30 minutes in the Nigerian
airport before boarding the flight to
Amsterdam," Information Minister Dora
Akunyili said in a statement.
"He arrived in Nigeria on 24 December from
Ghana via Virgin Nigeria. His passport was
scanned on entry into Nigeria at 20:08 and
was scanned in at check-in for departure to
Amsterdam at 20:35," she said.
Although Abdulmutallab was known to have
bought his ticket in Ghana's capital Accra,
he had been thought to have started his
journey on December 24 in Lagos, where he
boarded a KLM flight to Amsterdam before
transiting to the Detroit flight.
