Pipe-bomds...my @rse.....more like IED shaped charges ...or even shaped charges for uranium detonation.
I wouldn’t know. I haven’t read enough about it. I think I did see that mentioned somewhere. Do you know this to be a fact, or are you just saying what you believe to be likely/obvious?
What does that mean? I am not following you there.
What was described in the newspapers and what Freepers seem to have determined was that they had something that would not have been lethal in itself but was possibly a smoke bomb designed to create a distraction. It is possible that it was a triggering device for something else, but if the press reports were correct, their device was not extremely powerful. I have no idea what is necessary for uranium detonation and I know nothing about explosives in general, btw, and I am just summarizing what more knowledgeable people here have said.
They were caught fleeing from a military facility (which is why they were speeding - they obviously didn’t realize the entry would be guarded and they turned around and fled when they realized they’d been spotted).
I know the area slightly and it’s very wooded and secluded. There was no way they were there by accident.
I think these dumb jihadi bums - who had obviously been told to smile and look “cute” (difficult if you look like a Neanderthal, as they do) in their mugshots - really thought they were going to be able to take out an entrance to a secure facility and release some high profile Muslim prisoner being held there. I don’t know who that would be, but they probably do.
I suspect there were probably other people working with them, or at any rate, they thought there would be other people out there in the woods, and perhaps these people had already been caught or had simply never showed up. I don’t know, but whatever it is they were up to, I hope we deport them yesterday.
Deporting is better than trying them, because it gives the press less of a chance to get into action and defend them as poor, misunderstood “youths” simply engaging in the colorful native customs of their people...
