were not plotting to make bombs, but intended to start a fireworks business.


Yeah, Yeah. "They were only playing leapfrog".

using the high explosive HMTD.

no wonder these guys accidently blow themselves up.

i thought the use of bulk PETN by the shoe bomber on the dec 22 American airlines flight was nuts because it is so sensitive.
HMTD is a homemade brew and is very very very unstable.

the arab arrested about a year ago getting off a ferry at port angeles (nice town, near seattle) had HMTD and RDX in his car. RDX mixed with PETN makes semtex another terrorist favorite. semtex was found on the lockerbie flight.

nah...no connection...we now know that no arabs are terrorists.
