London Air Bomb Design May Also Trace To Ramzi YousefINTELWIRE.com As many have noted today, the thwarted plot to bomb U.S.-bound airliners appears to date back to Ramzi Yousef's Bojinka 1995 plot. But the plot may not be the only thing. Yousef's notebooks -- seized in Manila after his arrest -- contained copious notes on the use of peroxide and hydrogen peroxide in liquid-based bombs with a conventional battery detonator. The major media outlets were reporting late today that the bombs in the latest plot had a peroxide base. Ramzi Yousef's bomb designs did not retire when he did. As recently as last year, Yousef's designs were being posted to jihadist Web forums. One design in particular -- dating back to the 1994 Manila operation -- used a Casio digital watch as a detonator timer. The specific model was worn by numerous fighters captured in Afghanistan after September 11. Labels: INTELWIRE-Exclusive Views expressed on INTELWIRE are those of the author alone.
