Yep. And released the preliminary findings ... PICS too!

WASHINGTON — Calling it a “credible terrorist threat,” President Barack Obama said apparent explosive material was found on two U.S.-bound packages from Yemen, triggering searches of flights with other packages from Yemen and an investigation into whether al-Qaida was behind a new terror plot.

Sources told NBC News that both packages contained toner cartridges with wires and white powder. The devices were found in Britain and Dubai last night.

“An initial examination of those packages has determined that they do apparently contain explosive material,” Obama told reporters.

The devices were “in a form that was designed to try to carry out some kind of attack,” added White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan. “Clearly, from the initial observation, the initial analysis that was done, the material that was found ... was intended to do harm.”

Okay, maybe I’m behind on this story, but if were those devices meant to blow up a plane or to be delivered to someone here?
If it was meant to blow up a plane,why did it not go off?
If it was meant for someone here,can’t the put things like that together here?
I just don’t understand this whole story.
