Pretty weak pipe bomb if all it did was rip his clothes when it went off strapped to him.

As I understand it, these things have initial detonators, which then trigger the bigger boomification.

If the initial detonator booms early, or fails to initiate the bigger boom, all you get is a relatively small boom. Big enough to hurt if you're really close, though.

27 year old Bangladeshi Akayed Ullah. Not quite Akayed the dead terrorist but close. Usual NY suspects declaring lone wolf in 5, 4, 3..

Just another right wing christian white male terrorist.

Seems like the white dudes lately have a higher body count.

We do what we can.

Hough, you're on a roll with the Mad Men gifs.

The rep account reps won't let me rep you more, though.

I think it just means we're more competent with our tools. TWSS

Hard to do a decent job sometimes if you don’t have a good material supplier.

Oh, sure, blame the supplier.

Seems to me the more likely problem is user error. Soldering connections is alot harder than it looks!

So, you are saying HoosierDoc should hold back on creating his first bomb vest?

Most days, yes.

Sources say the suspected Port Authority bomber is a former cab driver who wanted revenge, telling investigators, "They've been bombing in my country and I wanted to do damage here"

That doesn't narrow it down that​ much.

Tell me about it. Trying to fix my back up lights Sunday with nobody around to hold the wires for me. I gots blisters...

And they hurt.

"They've been bombing in my country and I wanted to do damage here"

We've been bombing Bangladesh?

 

[T.Lex]

We've been bombing Bangladesh?

Exactly my thoughts.

Although, if it turns out this guy is an American citizen, the impaired geography skills make some sense.

I wonder who gave him his bombmaking stuff....

I dunno, but he should check into their refund policy.

Seriously, anyone with Google and a few bucks can make a pipe bomb. You used to at least have to buy an "Anarchist Cookbook"....
