#5  Let's see, take three suicidal fanatics, affiliation and intent irrelevant, add 1000 lbs of assorted explosives, one large inflatable boat, add one Evinrude or Yamaha outboard motor, and mix.

Add one Russian battle cruiser, explode, and let sink...add one pissed off Russian President, and stir...
