There’s been a lot of hand-wringing over a potential Al Qaeda plot recently: Nineteen overseas embassies have been shuttered until next weekend, Senator Saxby Chambliss is getting 9/11 flashbacks, and NBC News reports that “there isn’t a government official who’s seen some form of this intelligence who isn’t spooked by it.”
So, what’s everyone worried about? Well, the head of Al Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, ordered the group’s Yemeni affiliate to carry out an attack “as early as this past Sunday,” and Al Qaeda has apparently produced a liquid explosive that is currently undetectable. “[T]he new tactic allows terrorists to dip ordinary clothing into the liquid to make the clothes themselves into explosives once dry,” according to ABC News.
From this point on, anybody wearing clothes cannot be trusted. [Takes off pants.]
