Detroit bomber was president of UCL’s Islamic Society
Suspected Detroit terror attacker was head of UCL’s Islamic Society, it has been revealed.
According to the Federation of Student Islamic Societies, Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, who graduated from UCL with a degree in Engineering and Business Finance, served as the President of the University’s Islamic Society between 2006 and 2007.
In a recent press release, Faisal Hanjra, spokesman for FOSIS said: “There was nothing in his behaviour during this time that would indicate that he would commit these alleged acts. During his tenure as President, the Islamic Society forged closer relationships between other student groups, of all faiths.”
Faisla Hanjra went onto say that Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab’s fellow students and staff were shocked and horrified by his alleged actions and that the purpose of Islamic Societies in Universities is to build positive cross-campus relations.
Scotland Yard and MI5 are currently investigating whether the 23 year old, was radicalised during his three years at University. The FOSIS claim that Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab has ceased contact with friends and colleagues in London, after graduating in 2008. The Federation also urges all those who can help to come forward and cooperate with the relevant authorities.
