The US has foiled a plot by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to detonate an upgraded version of the failed 2009 "underwear bomb", US officials say.

The alleged device was seized in the Middle East after a CIA operation in Yemen and is being studied by the FBI.

Reports say no target had been chosen and no plane tickets purchased by the time the alleged plot was foiled.

If you want to be safe, vote for Obama. If you want another 9/11, vote for Romney.

See, it's not hard to use their tricks against them and try to win the "moran" vote.
