S. bound. aircraft, according to reports. Fears the device would have passed through airport security undetected. Double agent now out of Yemen after handing Al Qaeda bomb to the CIABombmaker Ibrahim Hassan al Asiri is believed to have made the device. By. Rob Cooper. Published. GMT, 8 May 2. 01. GMT, 9 May 2. 01. An Al Qaeda bomber sent to blow up a U. S. bound airliner was actually a double agent who infiltrated the group and volunteered for the suicide mission, it has been revealed. Saudi Arabias intelligence agency placed the undercover operator inside Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula AQAP where he convinced his handlers to give him the new type of non metallic bomb. The agent, who was in Yemen, was liaising with the CIA before handing the device over to intelligence services. Mail Bomber 11 Full Crack ArchiPlotter Senior Al Qaeda leader Fahd Al Quso, killed on Sunday by a drone strike, was believed to be behind the updated underpants bomb plot. AQAP have been identified as the most dangerous and determined branch of the terror network. The explosive device was supposed to be smuggled aboard an aircraft undetected and then detonated. The revelation, first reported by The Los Angeles Times, shows how the CIA was able to get its hands on a sophisticated underwear bomb well before an attack was set in motion. The agent arrived safely in an unidentified country and is being debriefed. New terror alert The feds say Al Qaeda planned to strike on the first anniversary of Osama bin Ladens death. Experts at the FBIs bomb laboratory in Quantico, Virginia, are now analysing the device to see if it could have evaded airport security. It did not contain metal, meaning it probably could have passed through an airport metal detector. But it is not clear whether new body scanners used in many airports would have detected it. If such a device could be smuggled through, it could in theory be detonated before passengers or crew knew it was on board. It appeared to be an upgraded version of. Detroit on Christmas Day 2. A bombing was to be carried out, reports suggest, to mark the first anniversary of the killing of Osama Bin Laden. Like that bomb, this device bears the forensic signature of feared Al Qaeda bomb maker Ibrahim Hassan al Asiri, who is believed to be hiding in Yemen, the LA Times website reported. The operation relied not on the high tech and satellite surveillance for which the CIA has been known in recent years, but old fashioned human intelligence work. It did, however, produce intelligence that helped the CIA locate top Al Qaeda operative Fahd al Qasaa, who was killed on Sunday when a CIA drone targeted him with a missile as he stepped out of his car in Yemen. Two counter terrorism officials told the New York Daily News they believed 3. Quso, who had a 5million bounty on his head, was the key militant behind the plans. Al Quso was indicted in the U.

The would be suicide bomber, based in Yemen and believed to be working for al Quso, had not been given a target plane or bought his tickets when the CIA seized the bomb.

PROTECTING THE SKY THE ARMED MARSHALS ON TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHTSArmed sky marshals were introduced on British airliners in 2. UK. Then Home Secretary David Blunkett said the move, which was confined to transatlantic routes, was a proportionate and appropriate response to the terror threat against this country. At the time, reports indicated that plain clothes officers would carry guns firing low velocity bullets, to prevent one going through the target and piercing the shell of the plane. In all likelihood they would be seated near the cockpit, in first or business class. Passengers are never notified if an air marshal is on their plane, although pilots are told. Neither the airline industry, police nor Government officials will comment publicly on the policy, and since its introduction it has largely been shrouded in secrecy. Other countries are more open about their use of sky marshals. The Israeli national airline, El Al, has had an armed marshal on every flight for more than a decade. And air marshals have been used in the US for more than 3. Notified The White House said President Obama was told about the terror plot back in April, despite his administrations claim over the last few weeks that there was no credible threatWhy underwear bomb terrorist will be key to the new investigation. To anti terror investigators, there was little that marked out Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab as a potential Al Qaeda recruit and suicide bomber. As the son of one of Nigerias most prominent businessmen, the 2. British university student lived a privileged life with access to large funds, homes in three countries and international travel. During his time studying mechanical engineering at University College London, he was described as a quiet, caring, diligent student. Investigators admit he simply did not fit their profile of a potential terrorist. Yet on Christmas Day 2. Abdulmutallab came close to blowing up a packed transatlantic flight with explosives sewn into his underwear. He flew from Lagos to Amsterdam, then boarded Northwest Airlines Flight 2. Detroit, which was carrying 2. Hours into the flight, he tried to detonate the explosives by injecting chemicals into them. He suffered severe burns when the bomb failed to explode, and was overpowered by passengers and crew. Disturbingly, the bomb was not picked up in airport security checks in Lagos and Amsterdam. Now serving a life prison sentence in the United States, Abdulmutallab is certain to be questioned again about his bomb, its maker and those who supplied it.
