A preliminary exam performed on the collar showed that it was likely not commercially manufactured

It was lacking the "Made in the Gaza Strip" label.

The more I think about this case the odder everything seems:

1. Why didn't the police find out how he was supposed to get out of the bomb?

2. Surely if he was forced there was to be a transfer of the money to the other party?

3. Surely if he was not forced, he would have been willing to tell them where he had the key. Heck if he built the thing, why didn't free himself?

Instead they hid behind patrol cars???????

"It was lacking the 'Made in the Gaza Strip' label."

That ran through my mind too.
