US Terror Suspect In Yemen Worked At 5 Nuke Sites

The AP reports that before "he was rounded up in a sweep of suspected al-Qaida terrorists in Yemen, Sharif Mobley was a laborer at five nuclear plant complexes in Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Authorities are investigating whether he might have had any access to sensitive information that would have been useful to terrorists. Edwin Lyman, a senior staff scientist with the Union of Concerned Scientists, a watchdog of the nuclear power industry, said the case raises questions about security at the nation's nuclear power plants—even though Mobley has not been linked to any wrongdoing at any of them."
