The guys stepping on that burning C-4 are lucky to still have all their toes. God watches out for children and idiots.
You carefully stick a thin knife blade between the two plastic halves of the body and twist. With a little work it pops right apart. The case snaps right back together when you are done.
Does Cemtex use Hexogen in it? I'm ignorant as to that explosive. The reason I'm asking, we all know who supplies Cemtex in the world.
You betcha,very effective defensive weapon.
Imagine 100 1/2" steel balls powered by a pound of C-4 (may be off on
exact details)
Overzealous interpretation of counter-mine treaties by military judge advocates caused them to collect all of ours in Afghanistan in 2002.
The odd thing is, the US didn't sign the treaty, and the treaty only bans booby-trap emplacement of the mine, but the military lawyers never miss a chance to do the enemy's work for him.
And yeah, we captured cases and cases of Iranian-made claymore copies; unmarked stuff made for terrorists. The lawyers' pals.

I presume this points to complicity of the Basques in the bombings, which is presumably why the Socialist government has been so eager to do a coverup. Basques and Muslims working together would not be at all surprising.
That's what I thought at first-that it was Spanish dynamite stolen from a native mine. Then I heard it was titadine, a French dynamite popular with ETA. Now, if you believe El Mundo, it was an ANFO/RDX mixture. There's also some confusion about the origins and techniques used for the timers. What can I say, except the Spaniards themselves don't seem to be that confident about the official version.
Sorry, but the Basque people do not have love for Muslims. Someone at ETA who has a college degree in chemistry may have "cooked up" an RDX-based explosive on a homemade basis. I'm surprised many terrorist groups have not tried to use explosives based on ammonium nitrate fertilizer mixed with fuel oil, an explosive that has spectacular results (if you remember the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and the first World Trade Center attack in 1993).
Not the Basque people, but the Basque terrorists. For whatever reasons, there has been a good deal of cooperation between Islamic terrorists and European Marxist terrorists. They are very far from agreeing with each other, yet the leftists and the Islamists have been working together on many occasions.
This all looks like that Gen. Petain conspiracy jibberish about the OK City bombing. I think the info they had after the attack and the months following was correct. N. African jihadis did it with the stolen dynamite. There's nothing to this, but buzzwords and mystery.
Guess who is providing the Semtex? That is a Soviet made product. So, our red star and sickle buddies are still alive and well in western Europe.

EL MUNDO tells something about that the hexogen detected is a component of RDX or Semtex that could have been purchased in Eastern Europe before the so called "truce".
ETA has an effective supplying network that from Southern France reaches the Balkans and Eastern Europe, and in occasions they contact Middle East groups.

The old eastern block manufactured Cemtex - a Soviet version of C-4 (at least something like it). Known as a plastique, the material is commonly used by terrorist networks, and Soviet made explosive devices - Like the American PETN, which is virtually everywhere as a propellant and an explosive.
