A Nigerian man accused of
trying to bomb a US-bound flight on Christmas Day 2009 has been
sentenced to life in prison without parole.Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 25, pleaded guilty to attempting
to blow up a commercial plane as a would-be suicide mission for
al-Qaeda.
His family quickly called on the US government to review the sentence. Abdulmutallab was badly burned when a bomb sewn into his underwear failed to detonate fully, prosecutors said.Almost 300 people were on the flight from Amsterdam to Detroit.
