Explosives are used to create bombs.
"Terror drills"
In 2016, the CIA was using real explosives as part of "terror drills" in schools.[1]
Different types
Determination of the type of explosive used in bombs can yield important evidence about who might have prepared the bomb. Militaries and spooks commonly use plastic explosive.
Examples
| Page name | Description |
|---|---|
| C-4 | The most powerful non-nuclear explosive, supposedly very tightly controlled. However, in 1982 a long time CIA operative exported 20 tons, almost the entire US domestic stockpile, to Libya, and trained Muammar Gaddafi's forces how to use it for bomb making. |
| Nano-thermite | An explosive which was found in the dust of the World Trade Center after September 11th, 2001. |
