So far, terrorists have blown up airplanes, hotels, restaurants, trains, buses, and shopping center with bombs hidden in bags, shoes, or clothes in order to avoid detection. However, in an effort to avoid a scanner at the airport, the terrorists would probably take a drastic step, which is dissected their bodies and then to plant a bomb in it, according to intelligence reports the U.S. Department of Homeland Security leaked to the media. Daily Los Angeles Times, as quoted by AFP on Thursday (07/07/2011), reported that the U.S. government has warned airlines that extremist groups are considering ways to infuse your body surgically explosives in order to avoid the ways of security at the airport .
U.S. authorities and some Western countries have a high alert since the death of the leader of Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, last May, by tightening security at airports, government buildings and other facilities in anticipation of a counterattack. Now, the security will be increased again at the airports after U.S. Homeland Security officials warned operators of airports and world leaders about a possible attack "the body bomb" on a commercial flight.
Believe the U.S. side, the terrorists move to mengimplan explosives were triggered by the introduction of body scanners at airports that are designed to catch them before they boarded the plane. It is estimated, bomber man will mengimplan explosives near the appendix or their buttocks, while women will place it in the breast. Experts said the bomber will undergo open surgery, the explosive pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), then put into a plastic wrap and then implanted into the body of the bomber before the wound was stitched like a normal operation and the wound treated until cured.
Bomber detonated explosives will be using a syringe to inject triacetone triperoxide (TATP) through the skin into the sachet explosives. This is a method that creates a serious fear because the bombers could pretend as diabetics who are injecting themselves and whoever can not prevent a suicide mission to stop them.
PETN've used Richard Reid, the shoe bomber Al-Qaeda members are citizens of Britain, when he fails while trying to blow up American Airlines Flight 63 from Paris to Miami in December 2001.
Leaked U.S. security alert for its foreign allies declared, the Department of Homeland Security has identified a potential threat from terrorists who may be considering the operation of planting the explosives or explosive components in the human body to carry out terrorist attacks. According to an official U.S. security, the threat is likely to come from abroad, but precautions are being conducted in the U.S. or internationally. However, it is said, although the threat has been identified, there is no indication of an attack is imminent.
The threat of "body bombs" was first revealed last year by an MI5 operation in the UK after an investigation about the tactics of Al Qaeda on the internet.
Leaked memo sent by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security revealed, world leaders are now responding to this threat seriously and security tactics at airports may be adjusted.
