A singed pair of underwear with a packet of powder sewn into the
crotch, seen in government photos obtained exclusively by ABC News, is
all that remains of al Qaeda's attempt to down an American passenger
plane over Detroit.
As seen in these photos, the alleged bomb consisted of a packet of
powder sewn into the briefs of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 23-year-old
Nigerian. Al Qaeda took credit Monday for the attempted bombing,
boasted of its ability to overcome U.S. intelligence and airport
security, and promised new attacks.
