In not a shocking move, Al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for the latest attempt of Imperial aggression. The faction of this Radical Organization doing this is Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula which is based in Yemen. Major Hassan via his contacts with Anwar Awlaki was affiliated with this organization. It is obvious Yemen is now the center of Al-Qaeda’s operations.
Al-Qaeda claimed the failed December 25 bombing of a US-bound aircraft in a statement picked up by US monitors Monday as the jihadists threatened attacks on Western targets and Yemen vowed no let-up in its campaign against them.
Al-Qaeda’s Arabian peninsula franchise acknowledged in the posting on the Internet that a “technical fault” had caused the failure of the plot against Friday’s Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, SITE Intelligence said.

It was obvious from beginiing this was a Jihadi plot, however one man alone didn’t believe it. Former Jazz Artist and Radical Maoist supporting blogger Charles “Icarus” Johnson on Saturday claimed he doubted Al-Qaeda was involved.

The more I read about this incident, the less I believe that it was really an Al Qaeda attack. It seems too poorly planned. And this wasn’t even a bomb — it was an incendiary device, which would have much less chance of actually destroying the plane.
I think this guy is BSing when he says he was sent by Al Qaeda.
As the fact have poured in and now Al-Qaeda taking claim, Icarus has been proven wrong again. He has not retracted his statement, instead he is now defending Janet Napolitano claims that the system worked. One problem, today she went on TV and admitted the system didn’t work.
From her own words, the system failed. Well Charles “Icarus” Johnson, your propaganda fails yet again. Just give it Icarus, your wings have melted yet again! Just do us all a favor, go back to playing Jazz Guitars!
Update: Here’s Hugo Chavez singing about a Turkey
Charles “Icarus” Johnson should play guitar for Hugo Chavez!
Update II: Here is a Chart showing the failure of Icarus’s new business plan.
