Update 2 - The WH is confirming it was an attempted terrorist attack.
Update: Two security sources now confirm report.
That according to the latest report I can find via UKPA. WaPo has it up via the AP, as well.
Michelle Malkin has been tracking, too.
A passenger aboard a Delta Air Lines flight in Detroit was planning to blow up the plane but the explosive device failed, a senior US counter-terror official has said.
It was not immediately clear why the passenger wanted to attack the flight that was arriving from Amsterdam.
The official spoke anonymously because the investigation was continuing.
Authorities initially believed the passenger had set off firecrackers that caused some minor injuries.
A Delta spokeswoman said the passenger was immediately subdued.
She had no details on the injuries.
