based Al-Madinah said the endeavor to explode a plane which was bound from Amsterdam to Detroit, is viewed by America as an important and dangerous development like the incidents of September 11 in 2001 and the Japanese attack on the American fleet during the second world war. The paper noted that US President Obama has criticized the intelligence system after the incident of the plane which means that this development may give an incentive to the right wingers in the US to hope for defeating the democrats at the presidential elections in 2013. "If this Nigerian young man had succeeded in his attempt to blow up the plane with its passengers in Detroit, then Al-Qaeda would have viewed this as a victory for it and as an evidence for its capability to defy the precautionary measures undertaken by Washington".
