“Underwear Bomber” files lawsuit against Federal Bureau of Prisons

The man known as the “Underwear Bomber” is suing the Federal Bureau of Prisons and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, claiming his Constitutional rights are being violated at the ADX Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado.

The lawsuit, which was filed in Denver federal court on Wednesday, claims Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab has been forced into solitary confinement, taunted for being Muslim and force fed non-Halal food when he went on a hunger strike to protest the alleged mistreatment.

Abdulmutallab is serving four life sentences for trying to detonate explosives hidden in his underwear, while aboard a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit back in 2009.
