| Suicide bomber Abdullah Asiri had As more details emerged of the events surrounding the attack that took place at the Prince's home in Obhur, sources told Okaz newspaper Friday that Asiri's mobile telephone was equipped with two SIM cards, one of which was used to speak to call members of the terrorist organization in Yemen, and the other to detonate the device located inside Asiri's It was also revealed that the explosive material was placed in small hardened packs of a non-metal substance, resulting in a scenario far less devastating than it might otherwise have been. Investigators are currently trying to identify the type of explosives used in the act. According to the sources, Asiri told palace officials while waiting for Prince Muhammad to arrive that he would have to "have a lie down" due to fatigue if the Prince was late, something which analysts say could have been due to the presence of the explosives in his body. Asiri had reportedly not eaten nor consumed any liquid for 40 hours, fearing Investigators are reportedly working on the theory that the telephone call made by Prince Muhammad to Asiri's fellow terrorists to assure them that Asiri had arrived safely at the Prince's house was a signal for them to detonate the device hidden in Asiri's body. Officer Thamer It is believed that "Thamer", a name mentioned in the telephone call between Asiri and Prince Muhammad is the officer assigned to accompany Asiri from Najran to Jeddah after the suicide bomber had illegally crossed the border from Yemen into the Kingdom on his own initiative. |

| #15 SHE BOMBER Jan 2004 A BA flight to Washington was cancelled at the last minute yesterday after an intelligence tip-off that a woman suicide bomber planned to blow up the plane over the US capital. It was the third day running that a major security scare had hit the afternoon Flight 223 service from Heathrow to Washington. US security services told Scotland Yard the woman - almost certainly linked to al-Qaeda - intended to hide eight to 12 ounces of plastic explosive in her vagina. She would then go to the toilet during the Boeing 747 flight, remove the material and detonate a blast that would down the aircraft. A senior Yard source told the Daily Mirror: "Smuggling a bomb on to a plane by this method is one of our worst nightmares. |

| #12 That's a very Dignified martyrdom. Do as you wish, do whatever you might want to do, but you'll never be as cool as that asiri guy, whispering "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds", bent over, his pants around the ankles, while an accomplice fills up his butt with suppositories-shaped high explosives lubed with vaseline. Stuff of legend. |

| #3 Might have been better had they given him the plunger and told him to go and hug the prince. Instead, some guy got his rocks off by calling the phone to detonate it. |
