10 terrorists arrested in Malaysia have ties to underwear bomber

By Jane Jamison

"Ten suspects, from Jordan, Syria, Nigerian and Yemen, believed to be tied to the Nigerian student who attempted to blow up a plane over Michigan Christmas day, were arrested last week in Malaysia. The Malaysian government is just now going public with the alleged plot.

The government news agency, New Strait Times says one suspect was Malaysian. Authorities acted on a tip that a number of potential terrorists were meeting near the city of Kuala Lumpur and had been connected to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who unsuccessfully tried to detonate explosives which were hidden in his underwear on a Northwest Airlines plane approaching Detroit."
