In custody: US Marshals today released the first picture of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab since his attempt to blow up a transatlantic flight

The would-be bomber accused of trying to blow up a flight to the U.S. on Christmas Day has declared there are 'many more like me' who are ready to strike.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who has been charged with the attempting bombing of the Amsterdam-Detroit flight, warned FBI agents there are other terrorists waiting in Yemen, according to ABC News in the U.S.

His claims bolster fears of a link to a wider terrorist cell operating out of the Arabian country.

U.S. officials, who today released the first picture of Abdulmutallab since his arrest, say he told them he was trained on how to detonate explosives by Al Qaeda operatives in Yemen.

The latest revelations about the suspect emerged hours after security officials there said they had arrested 29 suspected Al Qaeda members. It is not known if any are linked to the Christmas Day airline plot.

The terror organisation's presence in Yemen has grown in the past year. It is feared the group want to exploit instability in the country to carry out attacks in the world's main oil exporting region and beyond.

Al Qaeda posted a video online from there four days before his foiled attack, declaring: 'We are carrying a bomb to hit the enemies of God.'

On day one...Napolitano should have declined any statement other than a massive investigation was underway. Around day three...she could have made a very positive comment about what worked....but also admitted what didn’t work. By the tenth day...she could admit to the larger scheme underway and put out a dozen directive changes. Frankly, she’s gotten lousy advice and she is not acting like a public administrator but a lousy state governor official.

PC Response - Why, yes. There must be many disaffected Arabs out there with grievances against the West. By all means, let’s set up a beer party to discuss the issues. How many did you say there were? We’ll have to fly them all in to DC, of course....

That was her judgment on the basis that it wasn't raining airplanes on Christmas day.
