Orange Man confirms bomb maker and terrorist Ibrahim al-Asiri is Tango Uniform
2019-10-11
[Statement from POTUS] This will confirm for the first time that Ibrahim al-Asiri, a senior al-Qa’ida bomb maker and terrorist coordinator, was killed two years ago in a United States counterterrorism operation in Yemen. Al-Asiri built explosive devices that were used in the failed Christmas Day 2009 underwear bomb attack and the disrupted printer cartridge bomb plot in 2010. He also built an explosive device intended to be used against a passenger aircraft in 2012, and the device used in the attempted assassination of the former Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Al-Asiri’s death significantly handicapped al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula. The United States will continue to hunt down terrorists like al-Asiri until they no longer pose a threat to our great Nation.

#1   The Underwear Bomber, What fucking ignominy, at least go down with a daring nym. 'Pasha Al-Pubis' or something the guy who actually wore Al-Asiri's greatest hit was Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is in supermax for life.

He was found guilty of attempting to detonate plastic explosives hidden in his underwear while on board Northwest Airlines Flight 253, en route from Amsterdam to Detroit, Michigan, on Christmas Day, 2009.
