               Saudi Man Traveling With Pressure Cooker Arrested

   A Saudi man was arrested at the international airport in Detroit after
   authorities said he made a false statement about why he was traveling
   with a pressure cooker.
   Hussain al-Kwawahir was being held Monday in Detroit on allegations of
   using a passport with a missing page and lying to U.S. Customs and
   Border Protection agents.
   Pressure cookers packed with explosive powder and shrapnel were used in
   the Boston Marathon bombings last month, killing three people and
   wounding more than 250.
   Authorities say al-Kwawahir initially said he brought the cooker with
   him for his nephew, who he said is a university student in Ohio. He
   later changed that story and was arrested on suspicion of making a
   false statement.
   A criminal complaint says the Saudi national arrived at Detroit`s
   airport Saturday on a flight from Saudi Arabia via Amsterdam. The
   complaint says he was read his rights and that he invoked his right to
   remain silent.
