SANAA (Reuters) - Yemen on Sunday freed a woman suspected of mailing two parcel bombs found on U.S.-bound planes, saying she had been a victim of identity theft.
Governments, airlines and aviation authorities around the world are reviewing security after the bombs were intercepted in Dubai and Britain on Friday. The bombs had all the hallmarks of al Qaeda, U.S. officials said.
Yemeni police arrested the woman, a student believed to be in her 20s, after tracing her through a telephone number she left with a cargo company.
But when the shipping agent was called in to identify her, he said she was not the right person, a Yemeni official said.
"Authorities concluded that this was a case of stolen identity by an individual who knew the detained suspect's full name, address and telephone number," he said.
Dozens of students had staged a sit-in in the courtyard of Sanaa University's engineering faculty calling for her release.
The student was the only person to be arrested so far in connection with the bomb plot, and her release will renew pressure on Yemen from the United States and others to hunt down the perpetrators.
A U.S. official said a Saudi bombmaker believed to be working with al Qaeda's Yemeni branch, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), was a key suspect.
Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, who tops a Saudi Arabian terrorism wanted list, is the brother of a suicide bomber killed last year in a bid to assassinate Saudi counter-terrorism chief Prince Mohammed bin Nayef.
That attack, as well as another attempt on a U.S.-bound airliner on Christmas Day 2009, involved the use of pentaerythritol trinitrate (PETN) -- a highly potent explosive that appears to be AQAP's weapon of choice.
At least one of the two devices sent from Yemen addressed to synagogues in Chicago employed PETN, the U.S. official said.
"The individual who has been making these bombs ... is a very dangerous individual, clearly somebody who has a fair amount of training and experience. And we need to find him. We need to bring him to justice as soon as we can," White House counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan told ABC News.
"I think the indications are right now, based on the forensics analysis, that it's an individual who has been responsible for putting these devices together, the same."
The Yemeni official said American and British investigators would soon join Yemeni authorities to form a joint investigation task force.

He is at the top of their terrorist list and not in
jail.  Had he been, this would be a non-event.  Why are they allowing this terrorist to build bombs and export them, to blow up Americans and Jews?  
It sounds like they have a hidden agenda, to terrorize other people; especially the Jews. 
 All paths lead to God, so why are we fighting over which one to walk on?  One path is no better than the other and won’t get you to God’s Kingdom any faster, than the other.  It’s not which path you take, but what you do on the path that matters.  That is the key to Heaven and ever lasting life.

It appears that gods are what got us in this situation in the first place. It’s  relgious war between the Abrahamic followers. Like all siblings, they need to learn to get along despite their differences. Innocent by-standers are getting hurt.
