Bomb set on train in London Underground
« on: September 15, 2017, 09:02:18 AM »
Apparently happened this morning.  Here's a link to one of the news reports.  From the description, it seems like this was more a flame or fireball then an explosion.  I've seen a couple of quotes thinking it didn't fully detonate.  Good thing functional antipersonnel mines are not quite as easy to build as some folks think.

Shades of "The Anarchist's Cookbook."  Half the stuff in there wouldn't work even if you made it spherical and in a vacuum.  The other half was designed to blow up in your face.  Or lap.

Probably one of the "match head" variants.

The original Anarchist Cookbook didn't have crap like that, it had stuff like recipes for making HMTD from hexamine tablets, citric acid, and hydrogen peroxide.  I saw a copy back in the early 80's.

Sparkler bombs seem to be pretty effective IEDs.

UK has a serious muslim problem.  Sad that they don't even recognize it.
