An interesting anatomical detail concerning the failed assassination attempt on Prince Muhammad Bin Naif, Saudi Assistant Minister of Interior for Security Affairs, by an al-Qaeda suicide bomber (via):
In one version of the events, Al-Arabiya, a Saudi-owned television network, said the attacker concealed the explosives in his anus, allowing him to evade detection. The network also quoted an expert as saying that the method of concealment aimed the blast away from the target, while blowing the bomber to bits.
Leaving us with a whole new definition of assinine...

Muslims gave us the Shoe-bomber, and got us talking about suitcase bombers, so I guess the next step out of Saudi Arabia had to be the Ass-hole bomber. And he didn't know it came out the back. You know how Saudis always say Arabs are not smart enough to have done 9/11? They might be right.

There is a certain dark poetry in that.
