Failed Bomb Attack on Flight to USA An airplane in the USA has survived a bomb attack. The bomber told police he was working for Al Qaeda. He tried to make a bomb on the airplane with a mix of powder and liquid chemicals. His bomb exploded but did not cause a lot of damage. Instead, he badly burnt one of his legs. Airports and airlines around the world are now on high alert. Al Qaeda has a history of attacking flights to and in the USA. The worst were the 9-11 attacks in 2001. Also in 2001, Briton Richard Reid tried to blow up a Paris-Miami flight using explosives hidden in his shoes. In 2006, police in Britain discovered a plan to bomb transatlantic flights using liquid bombs disguised as soft drinks.
