Kitchen-Sink Bombs - The Next Wave of Terrorism?
The Next Wave of Terrorism?
 Published: Feb 19, 07

Previously the play things of pranksters, common chemicals found under your kitchen sink can be used to make bombs. And, there is growing concern that these easy-to-make bombs may become the weapon-of-choice for terrorists bent on destroying the American way of life.

Using ingredients as common as hydrogen peroxide and paint thinner, aspiring terrorists have the ability to create havoc. The key elements for their weapons being as accessible as the nearest drug store or even under their own kitchen sink.

The FBI has created teams of experts to try to avert potential disaster, by staying one step head of would-be terrorists. But with the easy access to materials, knowing that these bombs will likely be used is only a start. Stopping them is a whole different matter.

Ten years ago, peroxide-based bombs were mostly the work of young pranksters. But the easy-to-make yet deadly chemical cocktails were embraced in the late 1990s by Palestinian militants and suicide bombers bent on killing large groups of people. Now, Yeager says, such explosives are considered the most likely weapon that terrorists will use against the U.S. (disinfo)
