Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) describes in a new statement how it conducted extensive research and trials into thwarting airport screening in both the U.S. and Europe ahead of the Christmas Day bomb plot against a Detroit-bound jet.
The group boasts of the planning that went into developing the "anti-detectable device" carried in the undergarments of Nigerian suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab in the latest issue of its online magazine, Sada al-Malahem, which was dedicated entirely to the attack.
The article claims the group carefully surveyed security checks at various international airports and concluded that they needed a device that could beat airport X-Ray scanners, metal detection systems, and sniffer dogs.

My Comment: None of these claims are verifiable, but the Christmas Day bombing attempt shows that terror groups in the Middle East are looking for ways to develop explosives that are undetectable when carried onto a airplane.
What is my take .... I guess we will have to wait until planes start falling out of the sky for al qaeda's claims to be verified.
