An official said the incident, in which firecrackers were initially said to have been set off, had been an attempt by a passenger to blow up the plane.
Panic ensued aboard the Airbus 330, which had flown from the Netherlands, and several people were slightly hurt.

The plot to blow up an American passenger jet over Detroit was organized and launched by al Qaeda leaders in Yemen who apparently sewed bomb materials into the suspect's underwear before sending him on his mission, federal authorities tell ABC News.
