London bomb plot was hatched in Pakistan

London suspects had U.S. connections

Explosives now believed to be homemade, similar to shoe bomber’s

Intelligence officials say the evidence, so far, indicates this plot was hatched in Pakistan and has a clear link to al-Qaida, but that does not prove that al Qaida actually planned or ordered the attack.

The FBI is busy running dozens of names sent by the British to see if they have terrorist connections. And active FBI investigations are under way in Cleveland and Raleigh, N.C. The FBI already has obtained documents from the Raleigh landlord who leased an apartment to the alleged bomb maker.
