Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab

Scotland Yard is involved in the investigation into claims Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian who studied at a British university, tried to blow up a transatlantic plane in an al-Qaeda plot.

The 23-year-old is said to have attempted to ignite an explosive device strapped to his leg as a Northwest Airlines flight carrying 278 passengers and 11 crew came in to land in Detroit.

Abdulmutallab, who was a student at University College London, claimed to have picked up his device in Yemen and to be an agent of al-Qaeda.
