Mail bombs suspect 'had identity stolen'

The young Yemeni woman arrested on suspicion of mailing powerful bombs to US synagogues was released on bail today as Yemeni officials said authorities believed her identity had been stolen.

Authorities arrested 22-year-old Hanan al-Samawi after tracking the name and address used on the packages. But after she was arrested, the shipping agent said she wasn’t the one who signed the shipping documents, a Yemeni official said.
