Jury in airline attack will see bomb model, videos (AP)

DETROIT ? Jurors at the trial of an alleged al-Qaida terrorist will see a model of a bomb found hidden in his underwear and videos demonstrating the power of the explosive he wore onto a Detroit-bound jetliner.

A judge Tuesday granted the government's request to use the evidence in the upcoming trial of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (OO'-mahr fah-ROOK' ahb-DOOL'-moo-TAH'-lahb), who's charged with trying to destroy the international flight in 2009.

Abdulmutallab objected, saying videos showing an explosive in the field aren't the same as on a plane. But Judge Nancy Edmunds says a bomb demonstrated inside a plane would be very harmful to his defense.

The judge says prosecutors also can show an al-Qaida video with Abdulmutallab discussing his suicide mission. Jurors won't see a clip of Osama bin Laden praising him.
