WASHINGTON (AP) – Al-Qaida designed a bomb to slip inside form-fitting, brief-style underwear in hopes it would go undetected even if the bomber received an airport pat-down, officials said Wednesday, describing a plot they said was directly overseen by a high-level al-Qaida leader in Yemen. The scheme never had a chance, though, because the would-be bomber was actually a double-agent working for Saudi Arabia’s security services. Saudi officials worked with the CIA to deliver the sophisticated new bomb directly to the U.S. government, according to current and former U.S. officials briefed on the situation.
