The alleged US plane bomber met radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen, after being recruited in London, a senior Yemeni official has said.
Last week US security official John Brennan said there were "indications" of direct contact between the two men.
Awlaki was linked to an attack by a US army major on the Fort Hood base in November, in which 13 people died, the BBC reported.
Yemeni Deputy PM Rashad al-Alimi also said bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab used explosives from Nigeria not Yemen.
Abdulmutallab was indicted by a US grand jury on six counts on Wednesday.
Charges against him include attempted murder of the 290 people aboard the plane and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.
Abdulmutallab allegedly tried to detonate a bomb on Northwest flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit, but the plane landed safely after crew and passengers overpowered him.
