The UK's MI5 has uncovered an al-Qaeda plot using ‘body bombers’, terrorists with explosives surgically inserted inside them.
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.
A shaped charge of 8oz of PETN can penetrate five inches of armour and would easily blow a large hole in an airliner.
Security sources said the explosives would be detonated by the bomber using a hypodermic syringe to inject TATP (Triacetone Triperoxide) through their skin into the explosives sachet. [snip]

Counterterrorism experts have long known that terrorists considered putting bombs in their rectum, or in the case of women in their vagina, but having explosive devices or materials surgically implanted is the next step in trying to avoid current detection methods by the West. An entire new meaning for suicide bomber, body-bomber, which shows just how far the enemy will go to bring destruction upon the innocent.

Film seized ’shows children being radicalised’
Counter-terrorism police say their discovery of a film of children being encouraged to hold guns is evidence of attempts to radicalise youngsters.
The Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) in North West England revealed they found the film during a raid in Manchester.
Officers say it shows two children, aged about three and six, playing with a pistol and a Kalashnikov rifle.
Material seized separately included the advice: “No child is ever too young to be started off on Jihad training.”
The footage, which police believe was filmed in Pakistan, was uncovered on the hard drive of a computer during a raid carried out under the Terrorism Act 2000. Police have not revealed when the material was seized.
‘I want to kill’
Police believe the firearms are real.
The video shows a girl and young boy playing with guns and a man’s voice says: “What do you do with the weapon?”
He answers his own question: “I want to kill the infidels [non-believers].”
A senior officer in the CTU, who cannot be identified for security reasons, said: “We believe this was filmed abroad.
“We have no idea who the children are. We were shocked to find it at the house. We have no reason to believe this is faked. The guns are real.”
Police say they have also found flash cards, used to teach young children the alphabet, in another house raid.
The officer said: “We found a series of flash cards and documents on how to raise Mujahid children [who will fight for Islam]. The cards were written in English – and instead of having M for Muhammad they had M for Mujahideen…”
“They have the potential to indoctrinate. It just shows the mindset of some people and what we are up against.”
Police say they also found documents downloaded from an extremist website which instructs parents to raise Mujahid children.
The documents say: “The key is to start instilling these values in them while they are babies. Don’t wait until they are seven. No child is ever too young to be started off on Jihad training.”
‘Awful to see’
David Thompson, Assistant Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, said the majority of the Muslim population supported the police’s counter-terror operations in the region.
He said: “My view is [that] the majority of the community across the board see the threat that we’re dealing with and are hugely supportive.”
If your view is correct, how come the UK’s Islamic community is basically silent on this issue?
