British officials confirm that the information that led to the discovery of the bomb packages came from former of al-Qaeda member, Al-Fayfi, who recently announced his repentance in Soddy Arabia.
| The gentleman will definitely not be able to return to his old comrades a third time.The phrase, "Hoisted by/with his own petard" comes to mind. |
In the meantime, Al-Qaeda expert in Yemen Nabil Bukairi doubts that Al-Fayfi could have had any links with the attacks saying, "it hard to believe that Al-Fayfi was responsible for informing authorities of the bomb packages because he left Al-Qaeda more than two months ago, therefore, he would not be trusted with any important information Al-Qaeda might have."
"Soddy Arabia announced openly that he was in their custody more than 20 days ago, and we are sure Al-Qaeda would have changed its timings at least if he had any sort of information about the matter," added Bukairi. |
