Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has released the 12th issue of its magazine, Sada al-Malahem, which includes an article titled "Secrets of the Developed Device". The article discusses "the bomb of the intended-martyr hero Omar al-Farooq", who targetedNorthwest Airlines Flight 253 on Christmas Day, and reveals that AQAP has closely studied airline security: "it is clear that every machine has a weakness point that can be undermined." AQAP also claims that "the mujahideen have acquired a highly-explosive material with power that exceeds the classic high explosives like 'PETN' and 'TNT' and 'RDX' and others, and it is being prepared and tested."
