The Nigerian al-Qaeda suspect says more bombers are on their way to target America

The Nigerian al-Qaeda suspect charged for trying to blow up a US airliner has told FBI that more bombers are on their way to target America. Quoting investigating officials, a US based news channel reported that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab told FBI that there were more just like him in Yemen and would strike soon.According to news reports, Abdulmutallab has told FBI that he was trained for more than a month in Yemen and given 80 grams of a high explosive cleverly sewn into his underpants that went undetected by standard security screening.Meanwhile, Federal authorities met on Tuesday to reassess the system of terror watch lists to determine how to avoid the lapse that allowed a man with explosives to board flight even though he was flagged as a possible terrorist.
