#1 How interesting. The bad guys aren't mixing it together in advance, to prevent premature explosions. But if the stuff is touchy (as I imagine explosives might well be), how many are having work accidents just before placing the bomb, I wonder.

#2 'Make your own' explosives suggests these guys don't have a national sponsor to supply them with quality military plastique etc. or even artillery shells (Iraq style).

#3 Algeria is run amok with these Renault car-vans. They are all white and its almost impossible to discern any remarkable features that differentiate. I have a feeling that there are going to be a lot of boom-boom's going off reducing the poplulation of Renault Expresses by a dozen or so.
