Brussels, 06/10/2009 (Agence Europe) - On 18 September, European police forces received a memorandum from SC5, Europol's counter-terrorism unit, warning about the dangers of terrorists using bombs concealed on their person as suppositories. The European police office in The Hague in the Netherlands based its warning on a suicide bombing by Al Qaida in Jedda in Saudi Arabia on 27 August 2009, where a young suicide bomber managed to get round all the security controls, including the security gates at two airports, and get into the outer offices of the deputy minister of the interior where he waited, surrounded by bodyguards, for around 30 hours after having been thoroughly searched. Police forensic experts therefore believe he must have concealed a home-made, remote-controlled bomb in his rectum. Current airport security is not able to detect bombs carried in the human body, explains Interpol, according to reports on EUROPE 1 radio station in France, which managed to get hold of a copy of the ten-page document. Apparently, such bombs can be set off using a mobile phone. A French newspaper, Le Figaro, wrote on Monday about a secret French anti-terror unit memorandum about the same suicide attack on the son of the Saudi interior minister (he narrowly escaped death). The newspaper writes that French counter-terror experts describe the method as undetectable and the only thing that can be done is to ban mobile phones from aircraft. (B.C./transl.fl)
