British intelligence has confirmed perhaps the most chilling boast made by the man who’s accused of trying to blow up a plane on Christmas day.
The 23-year-old – known as the underwear bomber – said that close to 20 other young Muslim men are being prepared in Yemen to use the same technique to blow up airliners.
