The hunt is on to find Al-Qaeda’s ‘evil genius’ – an explosives expert believed to be behind a terrifying plot to target trans-Atlantic flights using human bombs.
Ibrahim Al-Asiri, who has survived numerous assassination attempts, is understood to have perfected a device which can be sewn into a human body making it almost impossible to detect by airport security scanners.
The 32-year-old is believed to have led a team of bomb makers based in Yemen which has already produced several of the devices after linking up with extremists fighting in Syria.
