Norway ‘bomb plot’ underscores al-Qaida pitfalls (AP)

August 29th, 2010

FILE - A Monday July 26, 2010 photo from files showing David Jakobsen as he was lead out of Oslo municipal court.He is one of three presently accused of plotting acts of terrorism. When police arrested a suspected al-Qaida cell in Norway last month, they insisted the public was never in danger despite turning up the makings of a bomb lab tucked away in a nondescript Oslo apartment building. An Associated Press investigation shows authorities learned early on about the alleged cell by intercepting e-mails from an al-Qaida operative in Pakistan and — thanks to those early warnings — were able to secretly replace a key bomb-making ingredient with a harmless liquid when one of the suspects ordered it at an Oslo pharmacy.
