'Yemeni police have arrested a woman on suspicion of mailing a pair of bombs powerful enough to take down aircraft, officials said on Saturday as details emerged about a terrorist plot aimed at the US that exploited security gaps in the worldwide shipping system.

Investigators were hunting the Arabian Peninsula nation for more suspects tied to al-Qaeda and several American officials identified the terrorist group's top explosives expert in Yemen as the most likely bombmaker.

The explosives, addressed to synagogues in the Chicago area, were pulled off planes in England and the United Arab Emirates early on Friday morning, touching off a tense search for other devices.'
