I wonder if gas cylinders can really make a powerful bomb or if it would be more of an incendiary device.

From the Blogosphere(Strata-Sphere):

I Would Check For Nuclear, Chemical, Biological Material In Car Bomb

******************************EXCERPT****************************

The streets surrounding the car bomb incident are eerily familiar to those who followed the Litvinenko saga last fall and this spring. But there are also parallels to the terrorist ring the UK recently rounded up as well:

The potentially devastating attempted car bomb attack today is a disturbing echo of the plans of master al Qaeda terrorist Dhiren Barot.

The diminutive fanatic from Kingsbury assembled a gang who plotted to kill thousands of people both in Britain and the United States.

One plan was to pack three cars with gas cylinders and explosives and detonate them in car parks beneath targets in London and New York.

Ask the wife of the Dr. in NYC who blew up his entire house with gas...

Plenty explosive...

If they are filled with propane gas they could be one of the biggest explosives one can think of. Propane gas is incredibly powerful when it blows up.

The bomb set off outside a Bali nightclub in 2002 killing over 200, including 88 Australians, was partly fueled by gas cylinders.
