也门基地组织称包裹炸弹为他所为

YEMEN-BASED AL QAEDA GROUP CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR PARCEL BOMB PLOT:

The Yemen-based arm of the al Qaeda terrorist network claimed responsibility Friday for last week’s plot to send explosive devices on cargo planes bound for the United States.

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which had been suspected in the plot, posted its claim on various radical Islamist websites, saying, “We will continue to strike blows against American interests and the interest of America’s allies.”

The statement also claimed the group is responsible for the crash of a UPS cargo plane in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on September 3.
