"bicycle frames", that sounds very specific to me ??


The ole adage crying wolf!


Having mixed feelings I knda wish they would quit doing this stuff.

Bunch of hogwash about people being more alert - to immersed in cell phones.

and since IMO I think that, I kinda think it makes it harder for professional LE to intercede --where bikes came in no idea - but dont give that info out it lets the bbad men and women know someone is on to them, so they may change to some other mode of attack

your thoughts ?

Bicycle frames? I don't know enough about bombs to know how that would work. It seems specific but has it been done before?

Of course it would work, it would just be a large pipe bomb. I would think it would be an easy way to kill yourself just putting it together though..

Yeah, I guess it would be just as effective as a backpack or vest, with the advantage of people are too busy looking for backpacks to notice bicycles.

Not a bicycle, but a bomb
- Explosives in frames
A STAFF REPORTER

Guwahati, March 24: Car bomb, tiffin-box bomb, plane bomb… to Ulfa now goes the distinction of inventing the bicycle bomb.

When Guwahati police shoved militant Binoy Baishya into a lock-up on March 10, they did not realise they were virtually inviting a Trojan horse in, too.

For 13 days Baishya’s harmless-looking bicycle stood in the storeroom of Sualkuchi police station till the Ulfa courier broke down last night and revealed its deadly make-up.

Officers rushed to the storeroom. “We immediately separated the bicycle’s parts and found lethal explosives,” district police chief Debojit Hazarika said today.

Unlike the so-called “bicycle bombs” recently used in India and Afghanistan, Baishya’s two-wheeler hadn’t been fitted out with a bomb but converted into one, catapulting the Assam rebel group into the league of the Irish Republican Army and al Qaida as improvisers of the terrorist arsenal.

Two of the bicycle’s three metal frames had been stuffed with the explosives TNT and pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), also known as pentrite. Fortunately, the bike wasn’t designed to go off by itself unless by accident.

"SOCIETY MADE MY SON A RADICAL"

The mother of Bilal Hadfi, the suicide bomber who blew himself up at the Stade de France, gave a remarkable interview. The woman is very emotional and says her son was radicalized because society did not accept him. It's a long interview of half an hour, but of the 130 victims of the attacks there is no mention.

"My son was a friendly and helpful boy, but he became the victim of our society", she says in the interview with Maghreb TV, a Belgian-Moroccan channel. "He ended up marginalized because he no longer felt welcome. There he came into contact with radicalized Muslims, who manipulated him and indoctrinated him. I do not have proof of this, but I'm convinced of it," the mother said.

"My son was not himself," she replied when asked about the attacks in Paris. "It was another Bilal who blew himself up in Paris." She underlined that her son did not make another victim and that she was proud of that. "Basically he has not hurt anyone else."

The interview is much longer. it starts in Arab but they switch to French after a few minutes.
I am listening to it as I write: Do you have any advice for the parents whose children are in Syria right now? The apparent normalcy of this question is shocking, but that's the way it is.
He used to drink and not pray, he stopped drinking and started to pray, but he had done so two or three times before, it did not worry us, it did not look like a sign of radicalization. Then he left for Syria and was shielded from his parents. Because the mother will say: I miss you.

Mother has visited the place where her son blew himself up. You can call him a terrorist but he has not blown anyone else up.

The interviewer now says that the mother is not guilty of anything, she agrees, this was done by others, and there is a lot of discrimination against ppl from Morocco anyway.

:gaah:
