JEDDAH – Suicide bomber Abdullah Asiri had inserted around half a kilogram of explosives into his own body to carry out his failed assassination attempt of Prince Muhammad Bin Naif, Assistant Minister of Interior for Security Affairs, last week.
As more details emerged of the events surrounding the attack that took place at the Prince’s home in Obhur, sources told Okaz newspaper Friday that Asiri’s mobile telephone was equipped with two SIM cards, one of which was used to speak to call members of the terrorist organization in Yemen, and the other to detonate the device located inside Asiri’s rectum via a call from the group.
It was also revealed that the explosive material was placed in small hardened packs of a non-metal substance, resulting in a scenario far less devastating than it might otherwise have been. Investigators are currently trying to identify the type of explosives used in the act.
According to the sources, Asiri told palace officials while waiting for Prince Muhammad to arrive that he would have to “have a lie down” due to fatigue if the Prince was late, something which analysts say could have been due to the presence of the explosives in his body. Asiri had reportedly not eaten nor consumed any liquid for 40 hours, fearing that they might disturb the effect of the explosives. Asiri reportedly waited less than an hour until the arrival of Prince Muhammad and the Prince sat next to him in an uncustomary position in a corner of the room to hear him better, only an arm-rest separating them.
Investigators are reportedly working on the theory that the telephone call made by Prince Muhammad to Asiri’s fellow terrorists to assure them that Asiri had arrived safely at the Prince’s house was a signal for them to detonate

The old guy won’t be sleepin for long.
Where are you planning on sticking THAT?!
I guess the expression “Blew his a** off” has real meaning here, eh?
Oh, no, you beat me to it! I should have known that expression was already taken:)
Seriously... is that necessary?!
Volunteer?
I do recall an amusing little incident at Washington Reagan while I was waiting for a “male assist” (metal knee). A very hot looking female was going through the secondary screen after setting off the metal detector. The wand went off in her crotch region and her face turned red. She whispered something to the screener whose face also turned red. A tense and silent moment followed. The screener allowed her to pass through. Imagine my disappointment.
Sure it is. You know, of course, that 85 year old white men are prime suspects for terror bombing, don’t you? After all, they are just being prudent.
There is now a new meaning for the old artillery word "touch-hole"
We need to install a multi frequency transmitter inside of a walk through blast chamber. "Just walk right in there folks, one at a time and out the other side."
Just a few "Vabooms" each day, and a quick clean up.
I wonder where he put the detonator...
1/2 kilo?
That’s more than a one-pound kielbasa. He must have had practice!
“He must have had practice!”
He is smiling in the video.
Half a kilo....
I bet it felt good getting that out.
As I was reading I thought of Achmed the dead terrorist

New TeraHertz technology gives the effect of a see-through x-ray without ionizing radiation. I think it would catch a large plastic "blockage." Of course, that would also give the voyeurs among the TSA license to drool over the bods of all who pass through.
