Abdulmutallab: More Bombers on the Way
(ABC News) Brian Ross and Richard Esposito - Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, charged with the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Airlines flight 253, told FBI agents there were more just like him in Yemen who would strike soon. In a tape released four days before the attempted destruction of the Detroit-bound plane, the leader of al-Qaeda in Yemen boasted: "We are carrying a bomb to hit the enemies of God." Law enforcement authorities say tragedy was averted only because the bomb's detonator did not work.
