There was no Saudi RECTUM bomber!!

This past weekend, there was some shill here repeatedly posting on many TSA threads that there was an airline bomber who smuggled a "bomb" in his rectum and detonated it in an attempt to assassinate a Saudi prince.

Guess what?

He LIED.

There was an attempt on a Saudi prince, Mohammed Bin Nayef.

But, the assassin, Abdullah Hassan al Asiri, put a TINY amount of PETN in his UNDERWEAR - NOT his rectum.

And he was NOT on a plane - he merely stood near the prince, after passing through a metal detector to meet him.

The assassin died in the attempt. The prince was minorly injured.

"When the bomb went off there was a flash of light, suggesting that the bomb was not hidden inside the assassin's body. Also, doctors consulted by the government judged that the toxicity of the plastic explosives would make them hard to hold for many hours inside the rectum, and the environment in this area of the body would make detonation "difficult," according to the Saudi official close to the investigation."

Shill, busted!
