White House Homeland Security Adviser John Brennan says the two explosive packages bound for the United States were intended to carry out an attack and could have done harm.
Brennan says the packages have been made inert and are no longer dangerous.
Brennan stopped short of linking the plot to al-Qaida’s Yemen branch but said anyone who is associated with the group is a subject of concern.
U-S President Barack Obama calls it a “credible terrorist threat.”
He was first briefed about the terror probe Thursday night.
Authorities are investigating a package containing explosive materials intercepted in Dubai on its way from Yemen and another package in Britain.
