THE Nigerian man accused of trying to bring down a United States airliner cut off contact with his relatives and disappeared from their lives until they awoke to news of the attempted Christmas Day attack, his family said yesterday.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's father talked to Nigerian security agencies two months ago and a month later to foreign security agencies about his concerns that his son had disappeared.
Authorities said that in November, Abdulmutallab's father visited the US embassy in Abuja, Nigeria, to discuss his concerns about his son's religious beliefs.
Abdulmutallab told officials who arrested him on the Detroit-bound jet that he had received extremist training in Yemen.
