And now:

"A man tried to board a commercial airliner in Mogadishu last month carrying powdered chemicals, liquid and a syringe
that could have caused an explosion in a case bearing chilling similarities to the terrorist plot to blow up a 
Detroit-bound airliner,
officials told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The Somali man — whose name has not yet been released — was arrested by African Union peacekeeping troops before the 
Nov. 13 Daallo Airlines flight took off.
It had been scheduled to travel from Mogadishu to the northern Somali city of Hargeisa, then to Djibouti and Dubai.
A Somali police spokesman, Abdulahi Hassan Barise, said the suspect is in Somali custody."
