The infamous “underwear bomber,” serving a life sentence in the Supermax federal prison in Florence, is suing the federal government.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who failed in a Christmas Day 2009 attempt to blow up Northwest Airlines Flight 253, with a bomb sewn into his underwear, is suing the Federal Bureau of Prisons and U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, claiming his First, Fifth and Eight Amendments rights are being violated.

In the suit field Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Denver, Abdulmutallab also claims rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act are also being violated.

Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian who has been in federal custody since the failed bombing attempt, is serving four terms of life imprisonment plus 50 years.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has directed the nation’s federal prosecutors to pursue the most serious charges possible against the vast majority of suspects, a reversal of Obama-era policies that is sure to send more people to prison and for far longer terms. The move, announced in a policy memo sent to U.S. attorneys late on May 10, has been expected from Sessions. (AP Photo/Brennan Linsley,File)
