也門證實，企圖炸毀美國客機的尼日利亞男子穆塔拉在犯案前五個月一直在也門。
也門外交部發言人表示，穆塔拉獲發簽證在也門首都薩那一家學院讀阿拉伯語，自8月初至12月初一直在也門。
發言人並無透露穆塔拉在也門讀書的詳情，但表示保安官員在確知穆塔拉取得友好國家的簽證後，向穆塔拉發出簽證。穆塔拉亦獲美國發出簽證，曾到過美國。
穆塔拉的家人曾表示，穆塔拉曾經前往也門，家人其後與他失去聯繫。
達組織在也門的一分支組織較早時承認25日策動企圖炸毀美國客機的襲擊陰謀，以此報復美國在也門向其發動攻擊。穆塔拉身上的爆炸裝置亦是該組織提供，爆炸裝置因故障未能成功引爆。

也門證實疑犯曾在該國
Yemen says attack suspect was in country
By AHMED AL-HAJ, Associated Press Writer Ahmed Al-haj, Associated Press Writer – 25 mins ago
SAN'A, Yemen – Yemen's government said Monday that the Nigerian accused in the Christmas day attack on a U.S. airliner visited Yemen this year, and that authorities were investigating his activities during his stay.
In a statement, the Yemeni Foreign Ministry says Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was in Yemen from early August until early December after receiving a visa to study Arabic in a school in San'a.
Monday's statement said Abdulmutallab had previously studied at the school, indicating it was not his first trip to Yemen.
It said he was granted a Yemeni visa after authorities were reassured that he had "several visas from a number of friendly countries," the statement said. It noted that Abdulmutallab had a valid visa to the United States, which he had visited in the past.
"Authorities are currently investigating who he was in contact with in Yemen and the results of the investigation will be delivered to those concerned with investigating the terror plot in the United States," the ministry said.
Earlier Monday, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula claimed responsibility for the attack and said it was retaliation for a U.S. operation against the group in Yemen.

The system aimed at keeping air travel secure failed when a Nigerian man who was suspected of ties to militants managed to smuggle explosives aboard a flight, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said on Monday.

A regional wing of al Qaeda claimed responsibility on December 28, 2009 for a failed Christmas Day attack on a U.S.-bound passenger plane, saying it was to avenge U.S. attacks on the group in Yemen. In a statement posted on Islamist websites, the group Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula said it had provided Abdulmutallab in the attempt with a "technically advanced device" but that it had failed to detonate because of a technical fault.
