A gun battle ensued after Yemeni forces raided an al-Qaida hideout. The raid occurred because the government of Yemen had vowed to eliminate the group responsible for the Christmas bombing attempt.
A statement from the government indicated that at least one militant, who they suspected was behind the bombing attempt, was arrested and in custody.
It was Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, that told authorities that he received intructions and training from al-Qaida located in Yemen.
Before Wednesday's attack, more than 60 of al-Qaida's militants were killed by Yemen forces with the help of US intelligence.

I am interested in what they will find out from this man that was arrested, if they find anything out at all. Hopefully, this isn't a dog and pony show.
