Terrorist gang 'used military explosives'

By Michael Evans, Sean O’Neill and Philip Webster
A SINGLE bombmaker using high-grade military explosives is believed to
be responsible for building the four devices that killed more than 50
people last week, The Times can reveal.

Similar components from the explosive devices have been found at all
four murder sites, leading detectives to believe that each of the 10lb
rucksack bombs was the work of one man. They also believe that the
materials used were not home made but sophisticated military explosives,
possibly smuggled into Britain from the Balkans.

“The nature of the explosives appears to be military, which is very
worrying,” said Superintendent Christophe Chaboud, the chief of the
French anti-terrorist police, who was in London to help Scotland Yard.

Of course, a single bombmaker doesn't necessarily mean all the bombs
were placed by one person. But it increases the odds greatly.

Except, of course, that the explosive is now acknowledged to be
commercial, not military!

The single bombmaker "revelation" is a no-brainer. One would hardly
expect four bombers in the same cell to be using four radically
different devices, unless they were experimenting.

It's now thought they were home made, using something called TATP
according to the Jeremy Vine show on R2 dinnertime.

Yes, that came to light after my post. For the last few days the
reports were saying "commercial," but the conspiracy theorists were
still syaing "military," that it was smuggled in from the Balkans
(crossing most of the EU, obviously), China, etc., etc. In
yesterday's 'Daily Mail' you had the ludicrous siutuation of an
article saying it was military and making a big thing of it, with the
revelation that it was actually acetate peroxide at the foot of the
same page!

Well, that just goes to underline the accuracy of any story in the Daily
Mail - I'd switch to a better paper straight away.
