Plane Bomber (mutallab) Was Recruited In London Afterall by adejonny: 1:31pm On Jan 07, 2010 |
The alleged US plane bomber met radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen, after being recruited in London, a senior Yemeni official has said. Last week US security official John Brennan said there were "indications" of direct contact between the two men. Mr Awlaki was linked to an attack by a US army major on the Fort Hood base in November, in which 13 people died. Yemeni Deputy PM Rashad al-Alimi also said bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab used explosives from Nigeria not Yemen. Mr Abdulmutallab was indicted by a US grand jury on six counts on Wednesday. Mr Abdulmutallab allegedly tried to detonate a bomb on Northwest flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit, but the plane landed safely after crew and passengers overpowered him. In a separate development, Mr Alimi said that five Germans including three children and a Briton kidnapped in Yemen six months ago are still alive. He said northern Shia rebels were co-operating with al-Qaeda over the kidnap. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8445454.stm |
