The guy's dad warned the U.S. Embassy about him. He bought a ticket with cash, never checked any luggage on, and the CIA had an investigation on him four months ago but never followed through. It just shows you it won't be a domestic flight that will be a disaster but probably an international flight coming out a third world country.
here is over 7000 articles on it maybe the story is in one of these

http://www.hindustantimes.com/ameri...up-US-airliner/491074/H1-Article1-491056.aspx this is pretty close to the original
the short version
idiot tries to blow something up while seated...he had it strapped to his body all the time......
the dad tried to warn the US embassy who had previously given him a US visa DESPITE, he was listed on several US watch lists (but AFAIK this was before he got the visa)
then..........and apparently
passengers will have to remain seated, with nothing on their laps and no access to carry ons for the last HOUR of a an inbound flight to the US
how do those measures would have stopped this guy at all.......UNKNOWN of course
I fly about 50k miles per year and I am due to flight home from Detroit in 4 days.....I have lots of electronics with me since a few friends asked me to bring some stuff for them....this is going to be fun
