NW Bomb Planned by al-Qaeda in Yemen
The Blotter from Brian Ross News ABC ^ | Dec. 26, 2009 | RICHARD ESPOSITO and BRIAN ROSS

The plot to blow up a passenger jet was launched by al-Qaeda leaders in Yemen who apparently sewed bomb materials into the suspect’s underwear.
The suspect had more than 80 grams of PETN, a compound related to nitro-glycerin. Yesterday’s bomb failed because the detonator may have been too small or was not in “proper contact” with the explosive material.
Abdulmutallab made contact via the internet with a radical imam in Yemen who then connected him with al-Qaeda leaders.

A few months ago the story about al-Qaida was how, under pressure in Afghanistan and Pakistan, it had largely been unravelled and its operational abilities degraded. Now, after the attempted downing of a US jet bound for Detroit, the same sources the US and UK intelligence agencies say not only that al-Qaida is still a dangerous threat, but that it may have managed to export and reconstitute parts of its operations to Somalia and Yemen.
So what, precisely, should we believe? The reality is that there have always been Islamist groups in Africa who have described themselves as being al-Qaida. While some have been more closely associated with the core of Osama bin Laden's ideology and were involved in early al-Qaida spectaculars in Africa, others have used the name as a cover for criminality.
In the past two years, however, there have been a number of significant changes in Somalia and Yemen that have contributed to the emergence of a more widespread and cohesive jihadi ideology far more closely aligned to al- Qaida's aims and agendas.

thanks for this ping hennie! Just damn! And now the new airlines rule is passengers must stay on flight for an hour after landing. Sure get them killed
Excellent point! I just heard on FNC that he was denied Visa's elsewhere. With your thought I'm convinced someone was bribed into letting him on. Don't the LEO's have egg on their collective faces
Gosh I hope you keep your emotional fortitude and sanity
