Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe The US government says the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has foiled a plot by an al-Qaeda-linked group in Yemen to bomb an aeroplane going to America. The suspected attack was apparently scheduled to take place around the one-year anniversary of Osama bin Laden's death. It allegedly involved a more sophisticated version of the underwear bomb which failed to detonate over Detroit in 2009. Al Jazeera's John Terrett has the latest from Washington, DC.
