Breast Implants and Bombs
Saline and silicone breast implants may be used to hide bombs used for terrorist plots by al-Qaeda, news reports say.
The discovery was made by British Intelligence as they intercepted communications related to terrorism between the two countries, Pakistan and Yemen. Messages describe bombs being placed inside saline and silicone breast implants of female suicide bombers to make them more difficult to detect with even the most advanced scanners used for the public (at airports, train stations and other highly frequented locations). The breast augmentation procedures would be performed by plastic surgeons who returned to their respective countries after having trained worked in the UK.
The bombs, made of PETN (pentaerythritol Tetrabitrate), are sealed in plastic and placed in the breast implants, which is then inserted into the body following the techniques of any typical breast augmentation surgery. Only a small amount of PETN would be required to crash a plane.
Reports also indicate that men are undergoing cosmetic surgery to insert bombs into their buttocks or appendix area.
Officials in the States are taking the threat seriously, particularly at airports.
