在发现寄往美国的包裹中藏有炸弹的阴谋后，美国派出一个专家小组到也门帮助检查空运到美国的货物。
美国运输安全管理局负责人皮斯托勒星期一对美国哥伦比亚广播公司的早间秀节目说，美国正在和它的国际伙伴合作加强对“坚定不移的敌人”的防范。
他说，在也门的美国运输安全管理局团队将提供培训、设备和专业技术来检查也门首都萨那机场的货物运输。
也门航空管理局说，它加强了所有机场的安全防范。
尽管加强了防范措施，但德国把禁令扩展到禁止所有来自也门的运货飞机进入德国。
有关官员说，上周截获的两个包裹的邮寄地址是芝加哥的犹太教堂，这些包裹可能是计划用来炸毁飞机的。
也门当局正在搜捕制造炸弹的嫌疑人，美国确认基地组织也门分支的阿西里是嫌疑人。
