Nigerian Met Radical Cleric

THE Nigerian accused of trying to blow up a United States passenger jet may have met a radical cleric linked to al-Qaida and the alleged Fort Hood shooter to prepare for the attack, Yemen's deputy prime minister said yesterday.

Rashad al-Alimi said Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab met al-Qaida members in Yemeni's Shabwa province, a place he believed was connected to Anwar al-Awlaki.

The cleric has been linked to the November 5 shooting at the Texas army base in which 13 people were killed. Earlier, he had exchanged e-mails with the accused shooter, US Major Nidal Malik Hasan.
