#1 "Power Gels?" got me, maybe they mean batteries, if so to put 500 detonators and 80 batteries in a computer shell means they have to be really small.

Something like pistol or rifle primers maybe?

#2 Apparently Power Gel is a brand name for a type of geletanized ammonium natrate explosive, and it comes in various grades. Google hasn't helped a great deal on finding out exactly what it is, but it's a Class-2 explosive, and probably nasty enough. It's aparrently very common in South Asia.

#3 Does anyone besides me find the idea of a computer casing hidden in a haystack to be painfully suspicious?
