Saturday, December 26, 2009 Airports around the world intensified their security for U.S. bound passengers Saturday as American officials sought more information about the motives of a Nigerian man who tried to light an incendiary device aboard a flight as it descended into Detroit on Christmas Day. Federal investigators has spent the last 24 hours scouring the associations and travel patterns of the suspect, Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, including his own claims that he is linked to the al-Qaeda terrorist network. If true, the attack would follow the terrorist group's tendency to return to failed plots, such as attacking the World Trade Center towers twice, in 1993 and 2001, for example. More, HERE.

Friday, December 25, 2009 A Nigerian national, claiming to be acting on behalf of al-Qaeda, is in custody in Detroit after allegedly attempting to light an incendiary device aboard a Northwest Airlines flight after it landed Friday, federal officials said.

Friday, December 25, 2009 ISLAMABAD -- Pakistani authorities plan to recommend criminal charges in that country against five Northern Virginia men arrested for possible terrorist ties, a development that could delay their handover to the United States but is unlikely to affect potential charges in a U.S. court, officials said Friday. The five have been in detention since their arrest two weeks ago but have not yet been criminally charged. A senior police official in the city of Sargodha, where the men were arrested, said Friday that investigators had concluded that they intended to join extremist organizations and "get involved in terrorist acts."
