SANAA, Dec 29 (KUNA) -- Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalib, the person behind the
terrorist attempt to blow up a US airliner, had studied in Yemen in August
2009, said Information Minister Hassan Allouzi on Tuesday.
The official told the press that the government launched an investigation
to find out what the Niger national was doing during his stay in Yemen, adding
that Yemen was against any acts of terrorism whether it was on Yemeni or US
soil.
Abdulmuttalib tired to blow up a plane which scheduled on a flight from
Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Detroit, US. (end)
