The Metropolitan Police is conducting searches and inquiries into
the Nigeria-origin man, believed to be a London student, who tried to
detonate a bomb on a US aircraft.
The Metropolitan Police said its officers were liaising with the US
authorities, and University College London, where is reported to be
registered as a student, has confirmed it has a student of the same
name.
The person caused panic on the plane about to land at Detroit with
278 people aboard when he reportedly tried to detonate some sort of
bomb.
He was overpowered by passengers after the device failed to ignite properly.
Reports named him as Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, an engineering
student at University College London who had applied for a visa to
attend a religious seminar.
