Body cavity bomb

A body cavity bomb (BCB) is an explosive device hidden inside the body of a person in order to commit a suicide attack.^[1] While this concept has been used many times in fiction, it is almost unknown in real life. A body cavity bomb is only known to have been used once, in a failed assassination attempt.

A hypothetical further elaboration of the concept in the form of a surgically implanted explosive device has been the subject of speculation, but no such device has ever been found in real life.
