    Default Al Qaeda used SEGA carts as explosives

    Al Qaeda extremists plotted terrorist attacks in 2002 using explosives and detonators hidden in SEGA cartridges, according to a new Wikileaks report.
    Guant疣amo Bay inmate assessment documents dug up by the infamous whistle-blowing websiteand published by the New York Times explain how alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammedhad stockpiled bombs hidden in "black SEGA videogame cassette cartridges".
    "Detainee discussed remote-controlled firing devices (RCFDS) which were found during raids in Karachi in September 2002," read the record, spotted by Game Set Watch.
    "These RCFDS were built inside black Sega videogame cassette cartridges to protect the RCFDS and to make them appear innocuous."
    Another Guant疣amo inmate Hassan Mohammed Ali Bin Attash was apparently shown how to make remote detonators out of the game cartridges.
    "The detainee stated he traveled from Karachi, Pakistan to Quetta with three to five Sega cartridges made into remote detonators," reads his assessment. "The detainee stated he delivered the cartridges to two Afghan males."
    There's no indication in the reports as to whether devices such as those mentioned were ever used in an Al Qaeda attack or what any possible targets may have been.

    Still buying the Alqaeda scam? :C
    Better if we just center in videogames and let the media (and WL) in charge of continuing spreading all this bullsh..., btw and for instance: http://ae911truth.org/. No more than a couple of years left to unveil this ugly "invention" hopefully.
    Peace and love wraggster mate

    They weren't used as bombs, they were used as detonating devices... you know - the BUTTON you press, not the actual thing that goes boom. Terrorists have long been turning innocuous electronic devices into remote detonators... things like cell phones, garage door openers, game carts, alarm clocks, etc.
