Terrorist Bombings
911 - 10th anniversary today!

Today is the 10th anniversary of the Al-Qaeda muslim terrorist attack on America.  Four aeroplanes were hijacked and crashed into targets.  Two (Flt 11 and 175) crashed into the World Trade Center, the 3rd (Flt 77) onto Pentagon and the 4th (Flt 93) thwarted by some passengers missed target and crashed in Pennsylvania. Its such a sad day in history, and we need to remind ourselves that terrorist threats still exist.  Three Malaysians working in the WTC died.

It was in the news that some of the terrorists members had conducted meetings in Malaysia prior to 911.  

Some pictures to refresh our memories and to be reminded of the need to vanquish terrorism.

Terrorist No. 1 - Osama bin Laden - Born March 10, 1957;  killed May 2, 2011 in Pakistan under special orders of US President Barack Obama.  Yeah! 

(Anyone knows palm reading? Does his palm shows he is a terrorist and will die at 54 I wonder?) 

Let there be Peace in the World now.

December 25, 2009 - The underpants bomb

The "underwear bomber" Umar Farouk Abdullah struck on Christmas Day. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 23 year old Nigerian muslim tried to blow up an aeroplane enroute from Amsterdam to Detroit with the bomb sewn into the crotch of his underpants.

Sentenced to life imprisonment.  Read ABC news

This "underwear bomb" is the reason why we cannot carry liquids onto a plane.

The plastic explosives (powder) sewn into the crotch of his underpants. Ouch!

 
The highly explosive powder, (which luckily for the passengers in the plane, did not explode).

The liquid acid detonator in a syringe which failed to detonate properly - it caught fire and syringe melted. Acid did not came into contact with the explosive powder, otherwise bang...explode...



December 21, 2001 - The "shoe bomb"
"Shoe bomber" tried to blow up a plane during a flight from Paris to Miami.  This is the reason why we have to take off our shoes at airport check-ins.


The "shoe bomber" - Richard Reid, a British muslim convert.



"Rectum" bomb and "printer" bomb.

This is the mastermind Al-Qaeda bomb chief designer - 30 year old Ibrahim al-Asiri.

He made the "printer-cargo" bombs. He also made and planted a bomb inside the rectum of his brother who died in a suicide attack on the Saudi intelligence chief.  Are'nt they sickos!
