THE 10/8 JET BOMB PLOT: THE BABY WILL DIE WITH US
Police probing the planned terror outrage are investigating an alleged gruesome plan to use the young baby as a "decoy".
They believe the man may have wanted to take his wife and child on board a flight and she was prepared to sacrifice her baby in the deadly suicide strike.
Cops believe they would have hidden deadly chemicals in the baby's milk. The grim discovery is behind the decision to make all mothers taste their baby's milk before boarding flights to make sure it has not been contaminated.
Detectives are horrified at the prospect the terror suspect could have been prepared to kill his own family.
Last night a high-ranking intelligence source said: "This takes things to a horrifying new level. It is truly horrific that a man may have been ready to blow up his wife and she was prepared to let her child die."...
It's actually not exactly a new level. In 1986, Jordanian Nizar Hindawi, unbeknownst to her, placed explosives in the baggage of his pregnant Irish wife with the intention that they would be blown up on the El Al flight from London to Tel Aviv. The bombing was uncovered and no one was hurt, though I doubt the marriage survived.

Nizar Hindawi and the Irish girl were not married, though they were living together and she was about 5 months pregnant at the time. Hindawy suggested they get married in The Holy Land and she, being a devout Catholic, was thrilled. He then arranged for her to board the Elal flight on her own, saying he would take a different flight..
The girl was completely ignorant about the middle-east and did not suspected a thing right up to the moment of the discovery of explosives in her bag at the Elal security check.
In other words, the jihadi romanced an Irish girl, got her pregnant, and pretended to intend to marry her all as a way to sneak a bomb onto a jetliner
Sort of redefines what it means to be a cad.
