Al-Qaeda In The Arabian Peninsula Claims Responsibility For Terrorist Attack On Northwest Flight 253 

Video: Yet as Richard Engel points out, the bomber's ticket was purchased on December 15, days before the U.S. airstrikes (December 17 & 24) on Al-Qaida targets in Yemen.

Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula has claimed responsibility for the attempted bombing of a U.S. airliner Friday.  The group made the claim in an Internet statement Monday, three days after a Nigerian man allegedly tried to detonate explosives on a Northwest Airlines Flight as it landed in Detroit from Amsterdam on Christmas Day.

The statement said the bombing attempt was in response to U.S. efforts against the al-Qaida group in Yemen.  The United States has reportedly been quietly supplying Yemen with military trainers and equipment to help it fight a growing al-Qaida presence in there.
