[the bottle let me down]

Did he actually have explosives on his person? Or are they reclassifying ammunition as explosives?

I don't know. I'd guess that he was carrying greandes when he was captured, or that in talking to the press he said that he'd received explosives training. But that's a guess.

If memory serves me right, until his pleading guilty, explosives have never been a part of any of the charges against him. Though it is well known he was armed with a fire arm.
