INSTANT BOMBS

“Gentlemen, your kitchen is
full of explosives,” 2 Canadi-
an Foreas explosives expert,
Master Warrant Officer Bob
Linley, told security men

“All you need is the intelli-
gence to put them together.”
he told a mgeting at the annu-
il conterence of the Cangdian
Society of Industrial Security,

And it’s getting ewsier every
day tar the radical ar lerror-
ist to find aut how to come up
with a formula for “instant
bate and discontent,” he suid.

Linley said commonplace
kitchen substances like flour,
cake mix, corn starch and
sugar can be used for Icthal
explosives -- but he didn't
give any recipes.

“But I'm goiig to tell vou
how easy itis to get the intor-
mation," he suid.

“Recently I acquired some
Instant information.”

He said he pickec up some
literature from students’ or-
ganizations during an explo-
sives course with the U.S.
Aimy. One book, published by
a radical students’ group, out-
lined what to. buy, how to
make explosives and how to
use them,

He then listed eight publica-
tions on making bombs that
van he bought or ordered
through most book stores.

Linley showed the security
men a number of explosive
devices. how they are made
and how they are triggered.

One was a cigarette box in-
coudiary bomb capable of pro-
ducing a fire with a tempera-
lure between 1,009 and 1,500
degrees centigrade for eight
to 10 seconds, Linley suid it's
lethal within a 25-foot radius.
