There's no such thing as a living Martyr. The whole idea of Martyrdom is that you die for it. Someone who fails to go through with an attack like this man will be seen as a failure, not many terrorists will be enthused by a failure.

With the point about Nigeria not grounding him, they won't need to. How many countries do you think you'd be allowed access to with convicted terrorism on your record? He wouldn't be able to get near any countries with it.
