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.

Muslims have 1300 years of rectal packing experience.
A muslim contribution to the world.......
And they say Moslims aren’t inventive.
I dunno. My boss is a Muslim, but he's one of the good kind. He's completely assimilated to America (although he doesn't drink, for example -- but then again neither do I! -- nor does he do the prayer rug thing, but he does pray five times a day). He's just a very cool, very concerned-for-his-employees kind of guy. He's shown me much personal care and concern and he's really gone the extra mile for me. Not all Muslims are problematic. There are the extremists (who do not appear to be as prevelant in other religions) but we shouldn't always broad-brush-paint.
We have full body scanners and don't use when during peak travel times like Thanksgiving because it could make lines long. Does that make any sense?
Sorry, that must have been me...I loaded up on Tex-Mex to give the gropers something to experience as they fondled my junk...Must have had some extra left over...
Sorry, been done for years in the US.
LOL I love those sliders but they have gotten darned expensive.
TIME to go to the Israeli model: PROFILE!
