According to Stratfor the terrorist who attacked Prince Mohammed bin Nayef was able to get through security searches because he hid the IED in what the organization delicately describes as his “anal cavity.” Of course it’s hard to do much damage with the amount of explosives you can get in there, so the attack only lightly wounded the prince.
How did the terrorist manage to set off the explosives? Well, he was allowed to call Yemen just before the explosion, so it seems likely that his accomplices in that country used a cell phone as a detonator.
Yes, it’s true. Al Qaeda is now reduced to making booty calls.
