Terrorist hid explosives in his bottom
The Telegraph ^ | 9/22/09 | Mikey_1962

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."

BtD: "Ah, yes, Imam, it is I, Abu bin Drill, your new suicide bomber."

Imam: "Peace be upon you, AbD - the last fellow did well but the bomb was not big enough. But there is good news. We have solved that problem."

BtD: "Ah, yes, Imam, I see you have a 155mm artillery shell for me. Do I carry it in to blow up the infidels?"

Imam: "Now the bad news..."

I’ve had beer farts that might have made these sort of headlines.

And he wasn’t lying, either.

The Left has a lot of dangerously explosive bottom activity, it would seem.

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.

-—<>-—<>-—<>-—<>-—<>-—

Goes right along with my thoughts:

“... Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn’t go
They ran so fast the hounds couldn’t catch em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

Well we fired our cannons till the barrels melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with minie balls and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the ‘gator lost his mind...”


The jihadist musta forgotten how to aim...
