新华网8月6日电 据科技博客Gizmodo,美国ABC电视台报道称“基地”组织发现了“新一代液体炸药”。可怕的是,这种炸弹“无法被现有的安检系统查出”。

这种新式炸弹的制造方法听起来很像是一个疯狂科学家不可理喻的发明。通过把衣服浸泡在一种特殊的液体中然后晾干,恐怖分子就可以把自己的衣服制成炸弹。ABC新闻引用了两位美国政府高级官员的话,作为该新型服装炸弹的信息来源。据称,这种新型炸弹技术是“基地”组织在阿拉伯半岛(AQAP)——也就是炸弹制造者易卜拉欣·阿希里的家乡——研发的。(2009年的“内裤炸弹”也出自此人之手。)

基地组织最近一直在高调活动,所以美国官方对于这条衣物炸弹的新闻高度戒备。

Al-Qaeda Can Turn Clothes into Explosives By Dipping Them in Liquid

ABC News is reporting that al Qaeda has come up with a "new generation of liquid explosives" for a potential attack. The scary thing is that the bomb "would not be detected by current security measures".

The new bomb method sounds like the sick creation of a mad scientist. Terrorists would dip their clothes into the special liquid and become explosives once the clothes were dry. ABC News cites two senior US government officials as the source of this new clothing bomb information. Supposedly, the new bomb technique was developed by al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which is home of bomb maker Ibrahim al-Asiri (the guy behind the failed underwear bomb of 2009).

Al Qaeda has been amping up its activity lately, so this news of a clothing bomb has US officials on high alert.
