Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula

Ibrahim Hassan al Asiri, a wanted al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula operative from Saudi Arabia, is believed to have built one of the bombs in the parcel bomb plot uncovered two days ago. Hanan Al-Samawi, a female engineering student at Sana’a University, and her mother were detained by Yemeni police in connection to the plot.
