Though authorities initially downplayed one eyewitness account that the so-called “underwear bomber” had an accomplice with him at Amsterdam’s airport, they’re now hunting for the well-dressed Indian man who was with Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on Christmas Day. And the reversal seems to have been buried by mainstream media, with Prison Planet digging it out of the second page of the ABC News report about female suicide bombers.

Kurt Haskell’s description was first reported Dec. 26 by Michigan-based MLive.com but received little attention. As ABC noted last week, “Authorities had initially discounted the passenger accounts, but the agents say there is a growing belief the man have played a role to make sure Abdulmutallab ‘did not get cold feet.’”
