An Al-Qaeda plot to blow up a US-bound plane has been foiled by the CIA.
The FBI said investigators are examining the device – and say it appeared to be a revamped model of the so-called ‘underwear bomb’ used in a failed attack over Detroit in 2009.
They say the explosive was non-metallic and undetectable.

US secretary of state Hillary Clinton says the plan was uncovered at an early stage – and the public weren’t in any danger.
