Five men in France injured making internet-recipe bomb
2004-07-11
Five young Frenchmen were injured, two of them seriously, when a bomb they were making following instructions from the Internet exploded today. One of the group suffered serious injuries to his eyes, while another lost an arm, judicial officials and firefighters said. The men were 25 and 30 years old. The full circumstances of the incident in the town of Saint-Georges-de-Reneins, north of Lyon, were not immediately known.

#11  It the France of Chirac about to feel the backlash effects of appeasement for his policies of blocking every major 'real' Allied attempt to stop the jihadic terrorist enemy in Iraq, and elsewhere throughout the world?

Except The Ivory Coast due to Franco-Coffee concerns.

#9  I believe Darwin would be considered un-islamic, so no awards for this bunch.

#8  Damn, they just missed out on the Darwin award.
Is possible for a Muslim to awarded both the Darwin honorarium AND the 72 virgins?

#7  But black powder would just burn mostly unless the gases had no way to escape, one guy lost an arm. I am thinking it was more nasty than black powder which is poor for making a real modern explosive. It's fine for fireworks and pushing projectiles ( but sucks to clean up after.) Put some on the ground and light it. It don't go boom it just burns and smokes. Also you grind up the parts not the powder once it's all mixed together as I recall. I Shoot black powder so I have dealt with it.

Look at some of these "internet" recipies and they are down right scarry. No way you would want to expose yourself to the stuff and methods they are using. There are easier and safer ways to make stuff go boom.

Bombers are cowards anyway. Screw um as a waste of human skin.

#6  Could be anything for a recipe, but I can just see these guys making "soup" (nitroglycerin) and having a thermal rumaway in their reactor.

They could also be making black power, which is subject to static electricity or heat ignition, especially in the grinding together of ingredients.

#4  What no info on them being "north africans?" My bet is they are.

People who play with or do stupid things with explosives do learn the hard way.

Now where is that pound of black powder?
