#1 PETN is a high explosive, with a detonation velocity of over 20000 ft/sec. We used to use it in the form of Primacord to lace drill holes full of explosives together without electric caps.

When you are on the defensive, you will never solve the terrorism issue. Big O's policy of ~~appeasement~~ engagement will yield more of these incidents, and some may be successful, God forbid. Our enemies sense our weakness, and smell blood.

#2 Yesterday's bomb failed because the detonator may have been too small or was not in "proper contact" with the explosive material, investigators told ABC News.

The Al Qaeda Bomb Improvement Division thanks you dickheads. Could have as well said the bomb would have never worked because sweat and smegma are explosive inactivators.
