Yemen: Jetliner Suspect Met Militant Cleric
-------------------------------------------



A federal grand jury has indicted the suspect in the failed Christmas
Day jetliner attack. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab faces six criminal
charges, including attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.
Earlier today, the Yemeni government said Abdulmutallab had previously
met with militant cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who’s also been linked to the
Fort Hood shootings that killed thirteen people in November.
