Napolitano Says ‘No Indication’ Bomb Attempt Part of Larger Plot
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said U.S. officials have “no indication” that an attempt to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight approaching Detroit on Christmas Day was part of a larger plot.
“Right now we have no indication that this is part of anything larger,” Napolitano said today on CNN’s “State of the Union” program. “The investigation continues.” She said officials are seeking to learn whether the suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, had any ties to the terrorist organization al- Qaeda.
“It would be imappropriate to speculate about whether or not he had such ties,” Napolitano said.
