An article from the U.K. is making the rounds (It was forwarded to us by FOS Peter Berman.) that contains details from the trial of six terror suspects arrested two weeks after the London bus attacks in ’05.
The contents of the rucksack of one suspect has captured the fancy of the press and the British public– along with deodorant, clothing and an 11-lb. bomb (made from hydrogen peroxide and chapati flour!) was a copy of “Meet The Fokkers.”
Berman, who has toured Afghanistan more than once, got it from an acquaintance in the military. Apparently, all are puzzled that a terror suspect, toting a bomb onto a London subway, would also be lugging around a DVD of a Ben Stiller movie (which, btw, was decidedly not a bomb)! We must admit it is puzzling. We’re also rather surprised that a bomb can be made from hydrogen peroxide and chapati flour! (But then again, who would’ve thought that folks could put someone’e eye out with Mentos and Diet Coke?) We hear that onion kulcha makes a damn fine wound dressing in a pinch.
