Notes from Inspire 3

We would like to ask the Americans a
question: Why try to solve the symptoms
of the problem rather than the
root?

The British
government said that if a toner
weighs more than 500 grams it won’t
be allowed on board a plane. Who
is the genius who came up with this
suggestion? Do you think that we
have nothing to send but printers?

We used a device that contains
organic, non-organic material, and
metals. The toner cartridge contains
the toner which is carbon based
and that is an organic material. The
carbon’s molecular number is close to
that of PETN. We emptied the toner
cartridge from its contents and filled
it with 340 grams of PETN. We then
inserted the detonator. We designed
the detonator to be short so that it
wouldn’t be detected and we filled
it with 4 grams of Lead Azide. We
connected the wires from the circuit
to the toner in a way that would raise
no suspicions if inspected. When the
toner is inside the printer, a metal
plate on the toner would touch the
circuit wire. If inspected the toner
could be pulled out and would look
normal without any wires sticking
out. This method makes human inspection
of the printer useless.

Our security = Your security
And likewise:
Our insecurity = Your insecurity

“If our messages can reach you by words, then they wouldn’t
have traveled by planes…”

Two Nokia mobiles, $150 each,
two HP printers, $300 each,
plus shipping, transportation
and other miscellaneous
expenses add up to a total bill of
$4,200. That is all what Operation
Hemorrhage cost us. In terms of time
it took us three months to plan and
execute the operation from beginning
to end.

our objective is not maximum
kill but to cause a hemorrhage in the
aviation industry, an industry that is
so vital for trade and transportation
between the U.S. and Europe.
