A new concern for air travellers in the heart of the holiday season summer: the Government warned airlines that terrorists are considering surgically hiding bombs within human beings humans escape to the safety of the airport. And, as a result, travellers may find themselves subject to review more when flying, especially at the United States abroad.
Bombs-in-the body is not a new idea, but recent intelligence indicates a fresh interest in using this method, machines for people in airports scanning are not able to detect explosives hidden inside human beings human. However, there is no current information that points to a specific conspiracy involving surgically implanted explosives, a security official U.S. said, on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive issues.
As the airport security has increased since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, has thus creativity of terrorists in the development of methods to get around it. Aviation continues to be a particular target and Osama bin Laden's compound evidence has shown that the al-Qaeda Chief has retained its fascination to attack aircraft until his death in May.
Last year, it was reported that British officials discovered intelligence that al-Qaeda was seeking to surgically implant bombs within the people, a move some thought that it was caused by the use of full body imaging devices in major airports around the world.
"It is one thing, we have been concerned for some time," said j. Bennet Waters, consultant in security with the Chertoff group based in Washington, D.C. and a former official of the Transportation Security Administration of the Bush administration.
The Government of the United States has worked with Governments and foreign air carriers to find ways to discover explosives, including bombs potentially hidden within human beings human. Officials would not discuss specific security measures review to avoid cut terrorists who might seek ways to get around them.
Once a terrorist finds a kamikaze willing and secures the explosives, carrying off the coast of this tactic is not that difficult, said Chris Ronay, former head of the FBI explosives unit.
"It is rather easy and any damage that might be rather severe", said Ronay.
However, Leo West, a former FBI bomb expert, said concealing the bomb inside the body would significantly increase the difficulties in getting the device to work properly.
"Then as possible, it is much less likely to work les other scenarios," he said. "There are more practical ways to do so."
Explosive implant surgery could be a few days before an attack, said James Crippin, an expert in explosives in Colorado. To make this work, it must be a detonation device and it is conceivable that if the explosive was implanted in the breast of the woman, the detonator would be under the chest so that all the cooperative would have to do, it is down, press said Pépin.
The offshoot of al-Qaeda to the Yemen has emerged as the most inventive terror organization these days and was behind two parcels that almost brought down the aircraft on the United States. The group, known as al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, was behind the Christmas day attack in 2009, when a Nigerian hides a bomb in his underwear and virtually shot down an airliner over Detroit.
Cooperative AQAP also concealed bombs in printer cartridges last October, shipment to addresses of Chicago. The attack was postponed because of specific information on the plot. And at the end of December, the United States received intelligence by the Yemen group hiding explosives in the coating insulation of containers and transport aircraft. No there was no information pointing to a specific parcel with beverage containers isolated, but, as the recent intelligence on the tactics of the bomb implanted, the Transportation Security Administration has warned the national carriers and foreign nationals to be on the lookout.
"Due to significant advances in the safety of the world aviation in recent years, terrorist groups have repeatedly taken and publicly indicated interest to pursue ways to conceal more explosives," TSA spokesperson Nick Kimball said, adding that passengers flying in the United States may notice additional security. "Measures can include interaction with passengers, in addition to the use of other methods of testing as Pat-downs and the use of technology and improved tools."
Officials not specify what terrorist organizations seem to consider this surgical tactics.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said efforts to combat terrorism U.S. must evolve in terrorist groups publicly indicate their interest to find ways to conceal explosives.
"The idea that terrorists are looking for other ways to circumvent the security measures for aircraft target is not at all surprising", said Carney.
