US
official says terror plot failed because bomber did not change his
undergarments for two weeks and soiled the explosives
The 2009
“underpants bomb” plot failed because the terrorist had been wearing his
explosive-laden undergarments for more than two weeks and soiled the
explosives, a senior US official said.
Abdulmutallab had, at the age of 23, confessed to
and convicted of attempting to detonate plastic explosives hidden in his
underwear while aboard a Northwest Airlines Flight 253, en route from Amsterdam
to Michigan, US on December 25, 2009.
