US sources: Terror alert prompted by suspected suicide bombers with implanted explosives
DEBKAfile, Aug 5 2013
New threat from implanted explosives
The Obama administration continued Monday Aug 5 to try and impress USAians and the world that its far-reaching, still-ongoing terror alert across a host of Muslim countries was serious and credible. Members of the House and Senate intelligence committees, fully backing the White House, said the chatter picked up over the past two weeks exceeds anything in the past decade. US officials are beginning to release nuggets of information about the nature of the threat. According to one high-placed US official, concern focuses on the possibility of terrorists carrying explosive devices implanted inside their bodies. Plastic explosives in the body of a would-be suicide bomber without metal components are undetectable by standard screening devices such as those used at most international airports. It has been suspected for some years that doctors and surgeons in Yemen in the service of AQAP were experimenting with implanting of plastic explosive devices inside the bodies of suicide bombers or even animals. According to Western counter-terrorism sources, the surgeon would open the abdominal cavity and implant the explosive device amongst the bomber’s internal organs. Some US sources are calling the current threat the most serious since 9/11. They are alarmed by the degree of confidence AQAP leaders show in openly using electronic communications to boast about the unstoppable attack they are plotting. US sources explain the exceptionally broad geographic area covered by the terrorist alert, from Mauritania to Bangladesh including MENA, the Indian subcontinent and homeland USAia. US agencies are concerned that just 3-5 suicide bombers with undetectable implanted devices would not be caught in time to prevent them from detonating their devices in a coordinated attack on three or more continents. This might set off the signal for a large wave of bombing attacks in many more countries.
