WASHINGTON -- U.S. officials say a Northwest Airlines passenger from
Nigeria said he was acting on behalf of al-Qaida when he tried to blow
up a flight Friday as it landed in Detroit.
Rep. Peter King,
R-N.Y., identified the suspect as Abdul Mudallad, a Nigerian. King said
the flight began in Nigeria and went through Amsterdam en route to
Detroit.
