The Al Qaeda bomb maker behind the recently foiled plot to use underwear bombs on U.S.-bound flights has designed explosive devices to be hidden in cameras, computers and even pets, according to officials cited by ABC News on Wednesday.

Ibrahim al Asiri, a Saudi citizen who studied chemistry in college, is focusing on making bombs that can be surgically implanted in living beings -- human and animal -- then detonated on commercial passenger flights, ABC News reported.

The 30-year-old has also designed bombs that can be hidden in cameras and ones that go in external hard drives, then detonate when plugged into a laptop computer.

"[He's] very innovative in trying to find some way to get a bomb onto an airplane that will evade detection from airport screeners," said Seth Jones, former senior adviser to the U.S. Special Operations Command.

Al Asiri became radicalized after the suicide bombing death of his brother, U.S. officials said.
