Reuters - U.S. tightens security, seeks source of parcel bombs
Reuters reports: "The United States searched on Saturday for the culprits behind a plot to bomb Jewish targets in Chicago uncovered by the interception in Britain and Dubai of parcels with explosives sent from Yemen."

Comment: I'm a bit puzzled at this attack, at how exactly printer parts that may have contained explosives and sent to a synagogues could have become a bomb? Did they expect the synagogue staff to assemble the printer, not notice the explosives and trigger the bomb? Still, we have to credit the security forces for intercepting this attack, though I have to wonder if they were meant to do so. I mean, this may have been designed to be an obvious attack so that the Western security process could be studied for weaknesses, all the better to plan future attacks.
