WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI Director Robert Mueller is urging Congress to renew wide-ranging surveillance authority to thwart terrorism plots like the latest one in which an al-Qaida-engineered explosive device was to have been detonated on a U.S.-bound flight. 

 
Mueller tells a House panel the scheme hatched in Yemen demonstrates that it's essential for Congress to reauthorize counter-terrorism tools enacted in 2008. 
These programs expire at year-end. 
 
Officials say the would-be suicide bomber was actually a double agent working with the CIA.
