| #2 USN, this is likely why: Helicopters circled over a wealthy neighbourhood of Algiers as police disarmed detonators attached to TNT and gas canisters in a car parked near the home of a senior police officer, raising fears that other attacks were planned. "Boss, we'd like to blow it in place." "Are you nuts, my wife just redecorated" |

| #1 Why? wouldn't a controlled detonation have been safer? lots of opportunities for red-wire / green wire cross over, ima thinkin. but anyways, good job guys, |
