Yes, you read that right.
It appears that Al Qaeda has learned a drug smuggling trick.
Taking a trick from the narcotics trade - which has long smuggled drugs in body cavities - [suicide bomber Abdullah] Asieri had a pound of high explosives, plus a detonator inserted in his rectum.
The Saudi Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef, who was the target of this suicide bomber, survived.
More, over the fold.
According to this news report, Al Qaeda will be releasing information on the internet about how this kind of suicide bomb will work. It appears that a text message triggered the bomb that was tucked safely away inside the bomber's bum.
"This is the nightmare scenario," said Chris Yates, an aviation security consultant.
On a plane at altitude, the effects of such a bomb could be catastrophic. And there is no current security system that could stop it.
Is anyone else starting to wonder what the airport security procedures will be like down the road?
