One terr titzup, one maimed in IED accident
2005-12-04
Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team apprehended two terrorists near Daquq. The terrorists were attempting to emplace an improvised explosive device that detonated, injuring both men. They were taken to a local hospital, where one later died of his wounds. The soldiers searched the terrorists' vehicle and found a second IED, which an explosives team detonated.

#3  I've often wondered if the US could come up with a high-frequency signal-transmitter that would destabilize RDX. Every compound has a specific frequency with which it will vibrate in harmony to. Could you see a big Greyhound bus tooting on down the road, with explosives suddenly going off in front of and and on both sides of it? Unfortunately, I don't have enough chemistry or physics to know if the idea is possible, or what it would take to acutally make it work if it was. Would be neat, though...
