Sophisticated’ underwear bomb uncovered
A new, “more sophisticated” underwear bomb style has been discovered by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Yemen in April 2012. A new, upgraded version of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s Christmas Day, 2009 underwear bomb was reportedly found confiscated by intelligence officials.
According to media reports, the ‘sophisticated’ underwear bomb could potentially pass through airport scanners undetected. It is unclear whether the briefs were to be used by any would-be terrorist, although authorities stressed that at no time was there any danger or the apparent existence of an active plot. The underwear to be used in the new plot, if there was a plot yet formulated, is currently being analysed by the FBI.
The bomb making material and technique has reportedly been traced to Saudi bomb maker Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri who is believed to be currently residing in Yemen. Al-Asiri is credited for constructing the first underwear bomb and other bombs reportedly built into printer cartridges shipped to the US on cargo planes in 2010.
