Terrorism: Al-Qaeda warns of 'dozens' of in-flight bombs - Adnkronos Security: "Sanaa, 18 Feb. (AKI) - Al-Qaeda has prepared 'dozens' more bombs like the one used by the young Nigerian accused of trying to blow up an airliner in the United States on 25 December last year. The claim was allegedly made by the Yemen-based Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula terror cell in a message posted in its online magazine 'al-Malamih'.
'We have dozens of sophisticated explosive devices which are similar to that used by the Nigerian,Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on the Christmas Day flight from Amsterdam to Detroit,' said the message in 'al-Malamih'.
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula said in December it had provided Abdulmutallab with the explosive device he allegedly used to try to blow up Northwest Airlines Flight 253 with nearly 300 people aboard.
'The plan was to blow up the plane as it approached Detroit, so that it would fall onto buildings below and kill the maximum number of Americans,' the message said."
