UK: MI5 Warns al-Qaeda Planning Attacks Using Females With Breast Implant Bombs...

(Daily Mail)- Britain is facing a new Al Qaeda terror threat from suicide 'body bombers' with explosives surgically inserted inside them.

Until now, terrorists have attacked airlines, Underground trains and buses by secreting bombs in bags, shoes or underwear to avoid detection. But an operation by MI5 has uncovered evidence that Al Qaeda is planning a new stage in its terror campaign by inserting 'surgical bombs' inside people for the first time.

One security source said: 'If the terrorists are talking about this, we need to be ready and do all we can to counter the threat.'

A leading source added that male bombers would have the explosive secreted near their appendix or in their buttocks, while females would have the material placed inside their breasts in the same way as figure-enhancing implants.

Experts said the explosive PETN (Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate) would be placed in a plastic sachet inside the bomber's body before the wound was stitched up like a normal operation incision and allowed to heal.

#11  My guess is that the UK equivalent of the TSA is simply spreading this rumor to get its recruitment numbers up.....

#10  Blowing up big breasted women is surely a ticket straight to Hell. Pure evil! We should defend big breasted women at all costs! Are they going after big breasted blondes next! They do not know the powers they are playing with!

#9  Al-Q once again is just copycatting : the LTTE has already used boob bomb babes a couple of decades ago. However, they used explosive filled bras, which did not draw attention since many Sri Lankan women are well built.

#7  Truly, Scooter. It's one thing to slip hands containing a syringe into one's nether regions under a blanket, but how on earth would one accomplish the same task with a target area higher up, even if under an abaya, without attracting quite unwelcome attention?

#5  I'm sure there was a fatwa against breast implants--this is un-Islamic! Off wid their heads for thinking such a plot.

#1  Big deal they're only copycats, the movie Batman had the Joker plant a bomb in a man's intestines and blow up Gotham Police HQ.
