US officials have charged a Nigerian man with trying to blow up a transatlantic flight with close to 300 people aboard as it descended into Detroit on Christmas Day. The US Department of Justice alleges 23-year-old Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to detonate explosives strapped to his body before other passengers overpowered him.
