Suicide bomber Abdullah Hassan Tali al-Asiri attempted to kill a Saudi prince by detonating explosives hidden in his bottom.
Al-Asiri, 23, managed to blow himself up in the attack in Jeddah, but his target, Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef, escaped with minor injuries.
Security experts said they have not come across a bomber who has concealed explosives in this way.
We've never heard of anything quite like this before," a source told The Sun.
Prince Nayef is the head of the security service in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Asiri, who was on a local "Most Wanted" list, arranged a meeting with him after insisting he had turned his back on terrorism.
By hiding the explosives in his bottom he managed to pass security checks before entering the prince's office.
It is believed they were detonated electronically.
Mike Yardley, a weapons expert and former soldier, said: "Hiding it in a body cavity was obviously an attempt to defeat scanners and detectors.
"Thankfully on this occasion the victim escaped because the bomber's body appears to have suppressed the force of the blast."
Prince Nayef, who had led an anti-terror crackdown in Saudi Arabia, injured his hand.
He said: "He surprised me by blowing himself up."

I want to know how he set it off.
Truly emphasizing the ass in assinate.
Well, that’s one way to make the sh*t hit the fan.
I wonder if he pretended to something, turn, bend over to pick it up, then yell allahuahakbar! before cutting loose? Seems just a little too bizarre, but that’s about the height of imagination, innovation, and comedy from that area of the world, all rolled into one act.
But of course these people are “just like US”, wanting to live peacefully and lovingly in the United States, practicing their religion of peace. If you don’t believe me, just ask ANYBODY at CNN!
Not with that, you’re not!
He really had it in for the Prince!!
One way to end constipation.
Sadomasochistic, homoerotic terrorist ping.
On the bright side, they can give a prostate exam while they’re in there.
Do we have any video? This is a one-of-a-kind event...
A few days ago, I wrote a post that told al-Qaida to stick it up their a$$
Apparently, it is not just conservatives who read FR.
So now TSA will have a proctologist on hand to check us out before we can get on a plane.
It would be cheaper and smarter to expel the whole lot of death cult members and block the borders so they don’t come back in.
Mrs. Patriot always accuses me of hiding SBD gas in my pants.
I guess Barney Frank could break the kiloton barrier.
If they hide explosives up their ‘bottoms’, how will authorities ever learn it was explosives that blew up, and not some really bad khalkamesh on a stick?
I mean this stuff going through a body scanner would just look like a regular constipated bad meal.
The fart heard ‘round the world.
Dufus alert?
