Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula said it has prepared “dozens” of underwear bombs for use in attacks worldwide. “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,” the terror group claimed in an article in al Malamih, an online magazine.
