Al-Qaeda is reportedly plotting a terrorist attack on a US airliner, Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper reported, citing intelligence sources.
The broadsheet said Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) had recruited a Norwegian Muslim convert and given him terrorist training in Yemen, and that the group were believed to have selected a US passenger jet as a target.
This report has not yet been confirmed by US Intelligence or Law Enforcement.
“The Norwegian recruit goes under the Islamic name of Muslim Abu Abdurrahman,” the newspaper said.
