Al-Qaeda Boast Of Invisible Jet Bomb Date: Monday, March 01, 2010 Source: The Sun Online

Al-Qaeda chiefs claim to have made an explosive that is undetectable. The terror group's Yemen-based team says it has carried out extensive research into thwarting airport security. In an online statement, it claims to have "dozens of sophisticated" bombs similar to the one Umar Abdulmutallab, 23, hid in his pants in a bid to blow up a Detroit-bound Christmas Day jet. It says the new devices have no metal parts that could show up on X-ray machines. And tightly-sealed packaging will defeat detection by sniffer dogs. Experts suspect any new explosive, if true, could be liquid-based. Respected air security specialist Chris Yates said: "You have to take this seriously. There is evidence that the device Abdulmutallab was carrying was undetectable."   To see the article please click on the link below.
