[LiberallyInclined]

Andy Standish of Jane's Defense weekly wants to make sure that in the future, MORE people are killed- and as such has given some suggestions to potential bombers on how to do better-

The bombs were probably made from simple, relatively easy-to-obtain plastic explosives, not the higher-grade military plastics like Semtex that would have killed far more people, said Andy Oppenheimer, a weapons expert who consults for Jane's Information Group. "Any crook with ready cash could obtain this stuff if they knew where to look for it," said Alex Standish, the editor of Jane's Intelligence Digest.

Plastic explosives are readily available on the black market in the Czech Republic and other central and eastern European countries or through the Russian mafia, Standish said. Large amounts of plastic explosives untagged by the chemical markers that enable dogs to detect it are missing from Czech stocks, he added.
He said the bombers' choice of targets reflected a lack of knowledge about the mechanics of explosions that suggests they were not highly trained or experienced.

Bombing a tightly enclosed space like an Underground train is likely to kill fewer people than targeting a more open space where debris can fly through the air and devastate a wider area, he said. In a crowded Tube train, the primary force of a blast is likely to be absorbed by a small number of people around the explosion and by the train itself, he said...

stupid terrorists piss me off...

1. This is way overanalyzing things....

Why is that a relatively small bomb in London gets soo much press coverage. While this is something an ordinary Iraqi has to live with a daily basis......And the terrorists are using way more "sophisticated bombs".......
