-- "The terrorist suspect, accused of trying to detonate a bomb on board the Airbus A330 as it came in to land at Detroit airport on Christmas Day, also defended their crackdown on harmless activities such as kite flying. "
-- "At the time Mr Rimmer, a Briton who taught teenage Abdulmutallab at the British School of Lome in Togo, west Africa, did not think such talk truly indicated extremist views."
-- "Mr Rimmer described the Nigerian as a "model pupil" who was interested in world affairs."
-- "He said: "In 2001 we discussed the Taliban in class."
-- " 'All the other Muslim kids thought they were a bunch of nutters with beards, and could not understand why they did such things as banning kite flying."
-- " 'But Umar seemed to think that was reasonable. Even when they blew up the Bamiyan statues he thought that was right and proper.' "
