Infamous Al Qaeda Bomb Maker Designing 'Belly Bombs': U.S. Officials
ABC ^ | 7/6/11 | Brian Ross

Posted on 07/06/2011 8:51:35 AM PDT by markomalley

The latest design from al Qaeda's top bomb maker is a "belly bomb" developed to beat airport security in Europe and the Middle East where full body scanners are not widely used, according to U.S. officials.

A bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security warned, "DHS has identified a potential threat from terrorists who may surgically implant explosives or explosive components in humans to conduct terrorist attacks."

According to U.S. officials, the terrorist would detonate the bomb with a chemical-filled syringe.

"We do not think there would be enough to bring down a jetliner, but it is more likely the kind of bomb to be used in an assassination attempt," said one person briefed on the warnings.

U.S. officials told ABC News the "belly bomb" is the invention of Ibrahim Asiri, a young Saudi native who packed explosives into the rectal cavity of his 23-year old brother Abdullah for a suicide missions targeting the head of Saudi intelligence, Prince bin Nayef.

nothing tsa/dhs says on this topic isn’t written with TSA expansion of power/power to compel subjects to submit in mind.

President Obomber just announced that TSA agents will force everyone to throw up before they board.
He said he struggled mightly before deciding that rectum exams will not be enough to combat terror. TSA will force passengers to evacuate their bowels before boarding. Niether of these options are too invasive when it comes to the safety of the public.

A handful of FReepers will claim that the dissections are necessary to keep us safe.
We have to dissect your butt to save your butt.

Simple solution. Let Americans keep their shoes on.

Anyone born in one of 15 Mid-East / South Asian countries? sorry, you are not allowed into the USA.

Well, at least his brother was 23 had must have consented. I would have thought he would have chosen a kid who had no choice. These people are not even civilized. They are barbaric. Bomb Mecca.

Thank you! Finally some sanity. Stop all Arab/Muslim travel to the US. It's the obvious way to maintain security at home.

If they start using Sigmoidiscopes at the Security screening, will I still need a valid ID?

Easy solution: quarantine all muslim countries. The arabs want anywhere, they walk.

You have to understand that TSA employees are highly trained in human psychology.

They are not only analysts, but therapists.

analrapists

Each and every one of them.

(and yes, they all suffer from Arrested Development)
