Richard Reid

On February 16, 2002, Richard Reid was a British passenger on the Boeing 767 tried to light a fuse to his shoe. He packed enough explosives in the sole in his shoe to blow up to blow a hole in the fuselage of the aircraft. His plan though did not go through because a woman began screaming getting the attention of two flight attendants, who quickly restrained him with belts and sedated him with drugs that was in the med kit on board. He was taken into custody right away. It is alleged that Reid received training at camps in Afghanistan run by al-Qaeda because the bomb inside his shoe was a very sophisticated one said to be one of the many favorite method al-Qaeda likes to use. Both FBI and French law-enforcement sources say that there were palm prints and hair on the shoe that didn't belong to Reid that includes that he must of had help.
