Le MI5 britannique a établi que des candidates à l’attentat-suicide pourraient utiliser des implants mammaires remplis de penthrite. C'est une découverte très inquiétante des services secrets britanniques. Selon le MI5, des médecins formés dans les hôpitaux les plus pointus du Royaume sont revenus dans leur pays en ayant acquis le savoir-faire technique suffisant pour procéder à des implants mammaires… remplis d’explosifs. Il est déjà établi que la nébuleuse de Ben Laden a utilisé cette technique pour les candidates à l’attentat-suicide. Les explosifs, en général à base de penthrite, parmi les plus puissants, sont insérés pendant l’opération à l’intérieur de formes en plastique. L’implant est ensuite cousu pardessus. Des candidats masculins au suicide auraient également utilisé cette technique. Cette nouvelle méthode a été découverte après la tentative du Nigérian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab de faire sauter un avion de ligne entre Amsterdam et Detroit, en décembre dernier. Quelques heures après son arrestation, les services secrets britanniques ont intercepté des "chat" entre le Pakistan et le Yémen, où il était justement question d’utilisation d’implants mortels. Des chirurgiens des services de santé britanniques ont confirmé la faisabilité de ces implants explosifs. " Détection impossible" Jonathan Evans, chef du MI5 chargé d’enquêter sur ces menaces, affirme que ces implants convenablement installés seraient impossibles à détecter par les scanners classiques utilisés aujourd’hui dans les aéroports. " Il faudrait que le sujet passe dans des rayons très sophistiqués, explique-t-il. Etant donné que cet explosif serait inséré dans un sac en plastique fermé, en petite quantité, cela rendrait sa détection impossible par un scanner classique." Des experts en explosifs du Centre de recherches en armes chimiques et biologiques ont confirmé au MI5 qu’un sachet contenant simplement trente grammes de penthrite suffirait, après explosion, à faire un trou dans la carlingue d’un avion. En tout cas, un trou suffisamment grand pour que l’engin se crashe. Jusqu’ici le MI5 a établi qu’une cinquantaine de médecins musulmans auraient acquis la technique des implants mammaires et seraient retournés au Pakistan et au Yémen. "Nos ennemis sont sans cesse en train de faire évoluer leurs techniques afin de déjouer nos méthodes de détection, souligne encore Patrick Mercer, président du sous-comité du contre-terrorisme à la Chambre des communes. Ces bombes humaines sont les dernières méthodes les plus effrayantes." * Gordon Thomas est journaliste, spécialiste du Mossad.

Britain is facing a new Al Qaeda terror threat from suicide ‘body bombers’ with explosives surgically inserted inside them.
Until now, terrorists have attacked airlines, Underground trains and buses by secreting bombs in bags, shoes or underwear to avoid detection.
But an operation by MI5 has uncovered evidence that Al Qaeda is planning a new stage in its terror campaign by inserting ‘surgical bombs’ inside people for the first time.
New weapon: To avoid detection by airport body scanners (above), Al Qaeda are said to be planning to surgically insert explosives into suicide bombers' bodies
Security services believe the move has been prompted by the recent introduction at airports of body scanners, which are designed to catch terrorists before they board flights.
It is understood MI5 became aware of the threat after observing increasingly vocal internet ‘chatter’ on Arab websites this year.
The warning comes in the wake of the failed attempt by London-educated Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to blow up an airliner approaching Detroit on Christmas Day.
One security source said: ‘If the terrorists are talking about this, we need to be ready and do all we can to counter the threat.’
A leading source added that male bombers would have the explosive secreted near their appendix or in their buttocks, while females would have the material placed inside their breasts in
the same way as figure-enhancing implants.
Experts said the explosive PETN (Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate) would be placed in a plastic sachet inside the bomber’s body before the wound was stitched up like a normal operation
incision and allowed to heal.
Failed attempt: Abdulmutallab tried to detonate a bomb sewn into his pants
A shaped charge of 8oz of PETN can penetrate five inches of armour and would easily blow a large hole in an airliner.
Security sources said the explosives would be detonated by the bomber using a hypodermic syringe to inject TATP (Triacetone Triperoxide) through their skin into the explosives sachet.
PETN – the main ingredient of Semtex plastic explosive – was used by Richard Reid, the British Al Qaeda shoe-bomber, when he unsuccessfully tried to blow up American Airlines Flight 63
from Paris to Miami in December 2001.
In November, a Somali man who attempted to board a flight carrying a syringe, liquid and powdered chemicals was arrested before take-off.
The airliner had been due to fly from Somalia’s capital Mogadishu to Dubai.
The Somali was carrying a nearly identical package to that of Abdulmutallab, who tried to detonate it by injecting TATP from a syringe.
Abdulmutallab had stuffed explosives down his underpants as the Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam made its final descent to Detroit carrying 280 passengers.
But the detonator fluid set his clothes on fire rather than the device, and he was overpowered.
Security sources fear the body-bombers could pretend to be diabetics injecting themselves on airliners, Tubes or buses in order to prevent anyone stopping their suicide missions.
Companies such as Smiths Detection International UK, which is based in Watford, Hertfordshire, manufacture a range of luggage and body scanners designed to identify chemicals, explosives
and drugs at airports and other passenger terminals around the world.
These include high-specification X-ray equipment that could identify body bombs.
But one source with expertise in the field said: ‘They can make as many pieces of security equipment as they like but there is no one magic answer that can spot every single potential
terrorist passing through.’
Conservative MP Patrick Mercer, chairman of the Commons Counter-Terrorism Sub-Committee, said: ‘Our enemies are constantly evolving their techniques to try to defeat our methods of
detection.
‘This is one of the most savage forms that extremists could use, and while we are redeveloping travel security we have got to take this new development into account.’
Senior Government security sources confirmed last night that they were aware of the new threat of body bombs, but were not prepared to make any official comment.
