Would-be suicide bombers may now be packing more than just the bare necessities in their underwear, and no, it’s not a terrorist fashion statement. Suicide underwear, rather than explosives jackets and suicide belts appear to make it easier for suicide bombers to evade “conservative” body searches.

A study by India’s Sihala Police College forensic lab sources states that recent suicide attacks were carried out by suicide bombers used “explosives-laden” under-garments, briefs in particular, to carry out the attacks.

The study said that the explosives could weigh between five kilograms to seven kilograms, made deadly by adding glass splinters, metal ball bearings and bullets. ( you can write your punch line here )

Law enforcement officers normally search upper body parts sparing the “privates”, the study said, hence assailants are increasingly using the lower body parts to dodge the searches. The study said that forensic experts were trying to devise methods to preempt suicide bombing. The experts have achieved successes in “Post Bombing Investigation,” the sources said, adding that resources are sharpening “Pre-Bombing Investigation” techniques.

This will obviously put to rest the age-old question… Terrorists, boxers or briefs?
