A singed pair of underwear with a packet of powder sewn into the crotch, seen in government photos obtained exclusively by ABC News, is all that remains of al Qaeda's attempt to down an American passenger plane over Detroit.

It's all that's left if you ignore the terror network that made it happen, and is going to try again until they pull it off.
When that happens, ABC will go into "why do they hate us" mode. To which the answer will be "it's Bush's fault."
I have to wonder if this bomber is the world’s first self-made eunuch.
O U C H
we used to joke “thank God Richard Reid didn’t pack the bomb in his underwear” - but apparently Osama heard that one.
sad that we will now all be subjected to full body scans and resultant loss of privacy thanks to a fanatical muslim douche bag
hahahaha
An Al Gore “package” enhancer.
I prefer the name “panty bomber”.
I guess l’il man blew his own b*lls off
They’ll try a thong next. hahahaha
This exact bomb from the same folks in Yemen did detonate in an earlier attempt on a Saudi terrorism official.
“(CNN) — On August 28, the Saudi Arabian deputy minister of interior, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, survived a bombing attack launched by an al Qaeda cell based in Yemen, Saudi Arabia’s southern neighbor.
Abdullah Hassan al Asiri, the would-be assassin, a Saudi who had fled to Yemen, posed as a militant willing to surrender personally to Prince Nayef.
Because he leads Saudi Arabia’s counterterrorism efforts against al Qaeda, the prince is a key target for the terrorist group.
Al Asiri concealed the bomb, made of PETN, in his underwear, according to the official Saudi investigation.
PETN is a plastic explosive that is not picked up by metal detectors — through which the would-be assassin had to pass before he was allowed to meet with the prince.
Saudi officials believe that the prince’s assailant exploded the 100-gram device using a detonator with a chemical fuse, which would also not be detected by a metal detector.”

Yeah. He can face his legal predicament with a steadily dropping testosterone level. On top of the physical issues he’s experiencing.
I prefer the more alliterative appelation “Bloomer Bomb.”
For some reason, the old Jerry Lee Lewis song “Great Balls of Fire” comes to mind...
All I can say is, if it’d been up to me to set off a bomb in my crotch, those shorts would have been decidedly dirtier!
bombs can be swallowed.

passengers should be required to show
up 48 hours before flying
Nah he didn’t blow them off he cooked them...
