The New Media Journal | Abdulmutallab: 'There Are More Like Me Who Will Strike Soon': "Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who tried to light an explosive device aboard Northwest Flight 253 Christmas Day, has told US FBI agents there are more just like him in Yemen who would strike soon, ABC News reports.
It also emerged that a tape released four days before the attempted bombing of the Detroit-bound plane showed the leader of al Qaeda in Yemen boasting of what was planned for Americans.
'We are carrying a bomb to hit the enemies of God,' he said.
Yemen has become one of the principal al Qaeda training grounds and was Abdulmutallab's home for a month while he prepared to become a suicide bomber.
He also told the FBI Yemen is where 80 grams of the explosive pentaerythritol tetranitrate were sewn into his underpants for ignition aboard Flight 253.
Abdulmutallab was charged Saturday while still in a Michigan hospital recovering from third-degree burns sustained during the terror attempt with attempting to destroy an aircraft and with placing a destructive device on an aircraft.
He has since been moved to an undisclosed secure location in the eastern part of the state."
