The Press Association: Cargo bombs plot 'cost just £2,628'

Al Qaida of the Arabian Peninsula claims its attempts to blow up package bombs on two cargo flights headed to the US cost only 4,200 dollars (£2,628), terrorist monitoring groups said.

In an edition of the Yemen-based group's online Inspire magazine, it details how what it calls Operation Haemorrhage used common items such as Nokia mobile phones and two HP printers stuffed with an organic explosive.
