Yemen security forces have surrounded a house where a suspect believed to have sent explosive packages headed to the United States is hiding, Yemen's president said on Saturday."National security are sealing off a house in which there is a woman believed to have sent the packages," Ali Abdullah Saleh told a news conference, but he did not give the location of the house or any further details.

I've given up watching movies, as the various News Channels are so much more interesting.
They are saying she has been arrested.
I wonder if she expected to get away... or if someone else stole her identity...
We should get dripfed more information at some point.

If they had blown up synagogues it would not have been boring and I would be hoping to see some really serious condemnation of such a thing and some fraternity.
I don't think it needs any additional condemnation just because it was posted to Jewish places.
On the other hand I would love to see anyone try to defend this - trying to attack a place of worship.
There are also questions of the tip off - the explosives were not detected, but were found out about by some means of a tip off (or monitoring, but the news seems to suggest a tip off), so who was the person who did that?

That's true though. At the same time the people who would celebrate such a thing are people who brief incessantly against Jews and Israel, and I was just thinking I sure hope if something like this happened such people would struggle to find a Muslim ear.
East Midlands Airport found wires attached to what was supposed to be an ink cartridge and raised the alarm here. Maybe Saudi intel knew instantly who was responsible, they are saying it was this lady in Yemen, but whether they also had enough details for a specific tip-off IDK.
I heard in Shayklh Hamza Yusuf that some guy wront a book in 1951 who thought that the wests conflict with the SOviet Union would be temporary and then after that there would be a new clash with islam/Muslims. He highlighted two places where he thought that clash would be most prominent: Afghanistan and Yemen.

That would be interesting if we knew who. Predictions are often designed either to be self-fulfilling or to serve an existing agenda.
It was actually a series of essays in 1947. Written by someone called "Arnold Toynbee". He names three places according to the transcript of the lecture: Saudi-Arabia, Afghanistan and Yemen

What a tinkerer! Anyway he missed a lot of other places. :doubt:
I notice he supported the Greeks and then, when the war was over, switched his support to the Turks, and he sided very influentially with Zionists and then, when Israel was established, became an opponent. And...
Can't say I give a toss what he wrote. :?
Predictably, the lady whose house was surrounded was acting on orders from much higher up. It was indeed a Saudi who was responsible, Ibrahim Hassan Al-Asiri.
I just came across a blog that has posed a vrey valid question...
the blog post
The person things this is a "terror lie" campaign, where a bogus threat is being manufactured.

Now it is always in the Muslim interest to lose focus on a thing like this. I find the urge to contradict the evidence, when al Qaeda exists in fact and fights in fact, either malicious, or in your case puerile. Just my thoughts.
If you want to dig deep in search of truth it is commendable.
I wasnt digging at all. That just came up while I was doing my normal routine of browsing a few technilogy related blogs (in this instance off the aggregator for Gnome software developers - Planet Gnome.)
