I know, I couldn't get anything to work in my high school chemistry classes in England. Dropping sodium into concentrated nitric acid was more exciting than what we were meant to be doing :) Though that is an exaggeration and I wasn't trying very hard. I don't doubt that it can be hard to make sure a bomb will work. But they seem pretty good at that, so whoever these guys are maybe they are some other people and then why 2 weeks after the other attack. Maybe they were rushed into acting before they could test whether their bomb worked, which would need a trip to a remote location etc. Just speculation and just curious, some break in the pattern.

I was curious about the comments about a brochure on white water rafting in Snowdonia that was retrieved after the first round of bombs. With all the old and active quarries in the area (test in an old quarry and the boom will be ignored due to active quarries) and mountainous terrain and good cover story would be a great place to test a bomb?
