Al-Qaida Loves Casio

[Takechanpoo]

a digital Casio wristwatch -- strictly speaking, the black F-91W model or its silver variant, the A-159W.

The footnotes of the document explain that the Joint Task Force identifies the watch as "the sign of al-Qaida, (which) uses the watch to make bombs." It's known that the Casio would be given to trainees in Afghan terrorist training camps for this purpose, where the young men would be taught how to use the watches in the building of bomb detonators.

According to the Guardian newspaper, more than 50 detainee reports indicate the ownership of a Casio watch, of which 32 prisoners wore the black F-91W and an additional 20 prisoners wore the silver A-159W at the time of their arrest.

RIP to Bin.

That's gotta be one of the lamest/cheapest looking Casio watches ever so no wonder it's a hit with 3rd world terrorists.

al-Qaida favorite:




I prefer the similarly dorky-squarish, but sturdier looking DW-5600E which I still wear occasionally though it's at least 15 years old:



Hopefully airport security can recognize the difference...

There was a Casio watch made in the 90s which included a feature which showed the direction of Mecca from any where in the world

Reminds me of the Class A war criminal (who admittedly wasn't indicted even though a war was conducted in his name...) who was buried wearing his favorite Mickey Mouse watch....
