Although Ms. Napolitano said it would be inappropriate to speculate on such ties, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation over the weekend said that the claims of the suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, were plausible, and that he saw no reason to discount Mr. Abdulmutallabs account that he had obtained explosive chemicals and a syringe sewn into his underwear from a bomb expert in Yemen associated with Al Qaeda.
Asked if Mr. Abdulmutallab was part of a bigger plot or whether he was a lone wolf, Ms. Napolitano replied, Well, right now, we have no indication that its part of anything larger, but obviously the investigation continues.
