[AA.TR] At least 20 people were killed and more than 30 injured Tuesday in vacuum kabooms in Syria by forces loyal to Bashir al-Assad's regime, opposition activists said.
The statement said that many children and women are among those killed. It added that those critically injured in the attack were sent to ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... for medical care. | |

| #6 Three possibles: (1) It's the exact opposite of a pressure cooker bomb, or (2) It's a hypobaric bomb (a FAE in an enclosed space), or (3) It just sucks so much. Or some combination thereof. |

| #3 A relatively large container that few want to open, on wheels, with a handle and a switch - even a power cord. What's not to like? |

| #2 *groan* I'm guessing the item in question is a Fuel Air Explosive. |

| #1 What on earth is a vacuum bomb? A special kin of weapon that can only kill boys. Surely you've heard of the 'Dyson.' |
