Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab, who almost succeeded in killing close to 300 people on the Amsterdam-Detroit flight, was seen by his peers as a man of high moral standards."He was the guy that never broke the rules," Brako, his friend from school, recalled. "We all looked to him as our moral compass." And to him killing hundreds of people was part of his moral duty, dictated by religion. Very sad, tragic. What a waste of life, potentially that of those on the flight, and now-his.
