WASHINGTON — One of the two powerful bombs shipped from Yemen to Chicago-area synagogues nearly slipped past investigators even after they were tipped off, a U.S. official and a British security consultant said Sunday.
The near-miss shows that the suspected Al Qaeda bomb was sophisticated enough to escape notice. It also shows how close terrorists came to getting the explosives airborne and bound for the U.S.
Intelligence officials were tipped off to a pair of explosive packages on planes in England and the United Arab Emirates early Friday morning.
