News media claim to have uncovered the true story behind headlines involving a would-be bomber in Yemen, who was allegedly developing a more sophisticated underwear bomb that could be used for a terror attack. The Los Angeles Times, Associated Press and New York Times all in the span of twenty-four hours managed to speak with sources that confirmed an international sting operation had been unfolding. Saudi Arabia’s intelligence agency and the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) were cooperating and the would-be bomber was an informant tasked with convincing al Qaeda to give him the new and improved bomb so he could hand it over to the United States.
