| Report: Al-Qaida doctors trained to implant bombs in humans |
| 2012-05-14 |
| Western intelligence agencies believe that al-Qaida doctors have been trained to implant bombs inside the bodies of suicide bombers, Britain's Sunday Times reported. The doctors, thought to have been trained by a man who worked with the top bomb-maker for al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), have the ability to put explosive compounds in breasts and abdomens of suicide bombers, the newspaper reported without citing its sources. The lead doctor was thought to have been killed in a drone attack earlier this year and likely worked with the master bomber-maker, Ibrahim al-Asiri, according to the newspaper. |

| #3 this is old news; terrorists have been working on this for years the problems include - the terrorist has to recover from surgery to be able to carry out the task - the explosive has to be sequestered cleaning in a body to avoid being contaminated by blood, lymph, etc. - the ignition device has to be similarly sequestered - the terrorist has to avoid premature explosion and has to carry out the explosion at the right time - the explosion has to really, really powerful because the terrorist's own body partly cushions the explosion |
