WASHINGTON — The US on Monday banned all cargo from Yemen and Somalia and prohibited the transport of printer toner and ink cartridges weighing more than one pound (half a kilogram) on passenger flights.

The new rules come after counterterrorism officials thwarted a terror plot last month that shipped bombs hidden inside printers in packages bound on aircraft from Yemen to the US.

Immediately after officials learned of the plot, the US.ordered a temporary ban on all cargo from Yemen. Monday's announcement extends that ban to Somalia, where intelligence officials believe terrorists are actively plotting attacks against the US.
