Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab was charged Saturday in a federal criminal complaint with the willful attempt to destroy an aircraft Friday on its final approach to Detroit Metropolitan Airport and with placing a destructive device on the aircraft. According to an affidavit filed in support of the criminal complaint, Mr. Abdulmutallab had a device attached to his body. As the flight was approaching Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Mr. Abdulmutallab set off the device, resulting in a fire and what appears to have been an explosion.

According to the complaint, a preliminary F.B.I. analysis found that the device contained PETN, also known as pentaerythritol, a high explosive. “Further analysis is ongoing,” the statement said. “In addition, F.B.I. agents recovered what appear to be the remnants of the syringe from the vicinity of Abdulmutallab’s seat, believed to have been part of the device.” Despite his injuries, Mr. Abdulmutallab was scheduled to be in court later in the day.
