WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday confirmed terrorists have discussed using stuffed animals, pillows and clothing to smuggle explosives aboard commercial airliners.
The explosive -- nitrocellulose -- is a propellant for ammunition and some rockets and is extremely flammable when packed in a sturdy container.
The department issued a warning about the possible use of nitrocellulose on August 8 to airport managers, state and local law enforcement and border agents after receiving "actionable intelligence" that al Qaeda or other terrorist groups were trying to exploit this explosive method.

Al-Qa'ida moet toch wel de meest geadvanceerde terreurorganisatie ooit zijn. En dat te bedenken dat Osama dit alles vanuit zijn grot in Afghanistan heeft opgezet. Waarlijk ongelovelijk.
