Underwear 'bomber' was a CIA double agent


Washington: The Underwear would-be bomber which was sent by al-Qa'ida's affiliate in Yemen to blow up a passenger jet bound for US has been revealed to be a double agent working for Saudi Arabia in co-operation with the CIA.

According to US officials, the agent infiltrated the Yemen-based al-Qa'ida and had been given an improved version of the plastic-explosive device found in a terrorist's underwear that was meant to be detonated on a flight arriving in Detroit on Christmas Day 2009.
