    A suicide bomber doing it 11 times over?
    No suicide bomber. One attack previously involved him placing the explosive under lifejacket under the seat (somewhere never checked by air hostesses/cleaners) so when the plane took off again, it would blow up

            They were of Pakistani origin. Granted, only ~95% of Pakistanis are Muslim.

                  Let's face it, India got nothing culture-wise.

                  Indian civilization consists of nothing but some lower caste people who crap on the streets and eat nan all day and some higher caste people who are fat, play with gemstones, ride on elephants and eat curry all day.

                        Yup, Ramzi Yousef

                        From NYT:

                        The plot to blow up several airliners over the Atlantic, uncovered by the British authorities, bears a striking, if not eerie, resemblance to a plot hatched by Al Qaeda operatives 12 years ago to simultaneously blow up airliners over the Pacific.

                        That plot was conceived in Manila by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was starting his climb to be a top lieutenant to Osama bin Laden, and Ramzi Yousef, who was the mastermind of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. It was financed by bin Laden.

                        Mohammed code-named the operation ‘‘Bojinka,’’ which was widely reported to have been adopted from Serbo-Croatian, meaning ‘‘big bang.’’ But Mohammed told his CIA interrogators it was just a ‘‘nonsense word’’ he adopted after hearing it on the front lines when he was fighting in Afghanistan during the war against Russia, according to ‘‘The 9/11 Commission Report.’’

                        Mohammed was seized in Pakistan in 2003, and is now being held by the CIA at an undisclosed location.

                        The Bojinka plot was anything but nonsense. At an apartment in Manila, Mohammed and Yousef began mixing chemicals that they planned to put into containers that would be carried on board the airliners, much like the London plotters were alleged to have been planning. In those days, it would have been relatively easy to get liquid explosives past a checkpoint.

                        Mohammed and Yousef studied airline schedules and planned to sneak the liquid on to a dozen planes headed to Seoul and Hong Kong and then on to the United States.

                        The plot was foiled in early 1995 when a fire broke out in the apartment where some of the plotters were working. Among the things found when the police investigated was Yousef’s laptop, with a file called ‘‘Bojinka.’’ They also found dolls wearing clothes containing nitrocellulose, according to the 9/11 report.

                        Yousef was captured in Pakistan, turned over to the United States and sentenced to life without parole.

                          Frack,

                          Wife is travleing today on a late flight out of New York. Looks like at a minimum she'll have huge delays likely the flight might even be cancelled. Better late than the 'late Mrs. Oglethorpe" though.

                              Damn you Shiva, beated me to a brand new sig. I guess I have to insult 1 billion people as well
                              I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.
