Airline passengers see tighter security
A passenger on a flight Friday from Amsterdam, Netherlands, to Detroit, Michigan, ignited a small explosive device shortly before landing and the White House is considering the incident an attempted terrorist attack, a senior administration official said. The Northwest passenger, identified as a Nigerian national “claiming to have extremist affiliation,” was placed in custody and is being treated for burns suffered in the explosion, according to a federal government bulletin obtained by CNN from a source familiar with the investigation. The explosive device “was acquired in Yemen along with instructions as to when it should be used,” the bulletin said.
