Abdulmutallab met with Anwar al-Awlaki after finishing Arabic language course

While some say his views on Islam were considered to be within the mainstream, Abdulmutallab has also been described by some friends and acquaintances as being opaque and unknowable.

Experts have uncovered puzzling character traits and interests as their investigation of how and when he was radicalized moves forward. They have also discovered an interesting path of world travel, and now know that he pursued relationships with radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki and al-Qaida operatives, from the time he was in London until he boarded the flight to Detroit strapped with explosives.
