That stands for Improvised Rectal Explosive Device; Al-Qaeda's newest weapon. The suicide bomber who tried to assassinate a Saudi prince used an unusual place to conceal his explosive charge; his anus.
Al-Arabiya, a Saudi-owned television network, said the attacker concealed the explosives in his anus, allowing him to evade detection.
One would think the jihadi would walk a bit funny, if the bomb is to be big enough to do any good be effective in killing a number of others. Of course, one is as ignorant as she can make herself be about such things, and determined to stay that way if at all possible. |
The network also quoted an expert as saying that the method of concealment aimed the blast away from the target, while blowing the bomber to bits.
Gladly the attack failed, otherwise Iraqi officials would freak out and demand that all visitors to government offices have their anuses probed before entry.
But seriously, how did he place the explosives in his anus? I don't think he could've done it on his own. But on the other hand, if someone else helped him do it then that makes the whole operation unholy, and very gay, right?
