#1 Greta (FoX) had a reporter on that said the two explosive devices originated in Yemen, same bombmaker, but actually placed on the planes in Dubai and the UK, meaning AQ has cell members outside of Yemen and in place.

#3 Reminds me of a couple of other prominent denials:

1) The mayor of Luxor telling me that the six Islamic Group terrorists who killed 58 tourists in 1997 were not Egyptian, but Israelis.
2) Egypt Air denying that that pilot could have plunged that plane into the Atlantic Ocean because his religious forbid suicide.
