Hey hey, not questioning how it was possible at all, i'm of the opinion that if you decide to educate yourself on the topic of making bombs it'd probably be entirely possible to get working knowledge through the medium of interwebs and books. What i'm wondering about has to do with the explosion... hey, you might be able to shed some more light on it actually, what with your military experience and so on.

Here's the thing i'm not getting; the bombs seemed relatively weak. There was a big orange ball of fire, which correct me if i'm wrong, is a sign of the explosive force being inefficient, like gunpowder. There's no crater or much impact to the site where it went off, nor are there heaps of torn off limbs and dozens of casualties. It was supposed to kill by shrapnel, sure, but i get the feeling it could have been a lot more had they used different stuff. Would you agree?

Now, as i see it, they could have made something like fertilizer/diesel/bits of aluminum foil-based stuff, the procurement and creation of which (goes my reasoning) is probably a hell of a lot easier than finding a way to remotely set off two explosions at once. And that's what's i'm finding interesting, what happened there? Besides being complete fuckheads, did they not do their jihomework, or like only half of it? Why this incompetence? This shit was cool 5 years ago, haven't they noticed noone's really doing it anymore? Kids go to Syria or Mali these days.

Please note it's entirely possible i might have jumped to hasty & unwarrented assumptions concerning some of the technical details, speaking completely out of my arse as it were...
