    SAN'A, Yemen — Yemeni authorities on Saturday arrested a woman suspected of sending two mail bombs found on cargo planes and are searching for more suspects believed linked to al-Qaida, Yemeni security officials said. The officials said the woman was detained as part of the manhunt as authorities search for a number of suspects believed to have used forged documents and ID cards that played a role in the plot that was thwarted Friday. U.S. investigators have said the mail bombs were headed to two synagogues in Chicago, raising fears of a new al-Qaida campaign against Western targets. The Yemeni...

    Home Secretary Theresa May has confirmed a device found at East Midlands airport could have brought down an aircraft. Following the COBRA meeting May said the device found in the UK was "viable" and that the threat level in the UK is severe meaning an attack in the country is highly likely. The Home Secretary also said that she has been in regular contact with PM and restrictions will be placed on all flights from Yemen. The parcel sparked a terror alert at East Midlands airport, on the Derbyshire and Leicestershire border. SNIP The two packages were both addressed to...

    After intercepting two mail bombs addressed to Chicago-area synagogues, investigators are searching for two dozen more suspect packages that terrorists in Yemen attempted to smuggle onto aircraft in a brazen al-Qaida terror plot. Authorities on three continents thwarted the attacks when they seized explosives on cargo planes in the United Arab Emirates and England on Friday. The plot sent tremors throughout the U.S., where after a frenzied day searching planes and parcel trucks for other explosives, officials temporarily banned all new cargo from Yemen. Several U.S. officials said they were increasingly confident that al-Qaida's Yemen branch, the group behind the...

Only at 7:45pm was a statement released by Theresa May, the Home Secretary.

    War On Terror: Homeland Security needs to do more than heighten aviation security in response to the cargo bomb plot from al-Qaida in Yemen. It should elevate the national terror threat level. Despite what the president called a "credible threat" to the U.S. — along with a dramatic spike in "terrorist chatter" and international travel among terrorist suspects with U.S. passports — the National Threat Advisory is still stuck at yellow, or elevated. It's time to raise the code to orange, or high alert. White House security aide John Brennan says there are no plans to lift it. "There is...

    The discovery of a US-bound bomb at a Dubai air cargo terminal on Friday should prompt authorities to dig deeper into the causes of a UPS jumbo jet crash outside the city eight weeks ago. On September 3, the 747 cargo plane crashed after a fire broke out on board shortly after takeoff and its two pilots struggled to land the plane at Dubai. The initial investigation into the crash — into a military base next to the Dubai-Al Ain Road — that killed the two pilots on impact, identified lithium batteries on board as being potentially to blame. However...
