> Then the police raid his home at 5 am, plant explosives and other "terrorist" paraphernalia around the place and arrest the family. Case solved. news.scotsman.com >>EXPLOSIVES found by detectives investigating the London bombings were home-made using ingredients that can be found in high street chemists. The highly volatile explosive - acetone peroxide - has been discovered in a house in Leeds thought to have been used as a bomb-making factory. Instructions for making acetone peroxide are readily available on the internet. << And here they are: en.wikipedia.org >>Acetone peroxide (peroxyacetone, TATP, or Mother of Satan because of its instability and power) is an organic peroxide. It is a high explosive that can be made from common household items: sulphuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and acetone. Other strong acids such as hydrochloric acid may also be used to catalyze the reaction. Since its precursors are readily available, it is commonly used by amateur chemists and explosive makers, often for detonators, and is sometimes used in terrorist attacks, for example in the West Bank area and the 7 July 2005 London bombings.<< It sure didn't take someone very long to update the Wikipedia reference to the London bombings when the information about acetone peroxide only reached the media today.
