Accused airline bomber came to Houston

A discussion of a story like this is usually beyond the scope of HAIF. However, it looks like the guy accused of trying to blow up NW253 over Detroit last week came to Houston last year.

From the Wall Street Journal:

Mr. Abdulmutallab initially traveled to the U.S. shortly after receiving his 2008 visa, apparently without incident. U.S. officials said they were now looking into his travel itinerary from his initial trip for any information that might inform on his later actions. Mr. Abdulmutallab apparently visited Houston, Texas, said the official.

On Friday, he told investigators he had affiliations with al Qaeda and was trying to blow up the plane, according to a U.S. official. "We believe this was an attempted act of terrorism," said a White House official.

Practice run? Who knows. I wonder if he stayed at a hotel, or with friends in Houston, or someplace else in Texas.
