“First used in Afghanistan”...Hmmmm.
Widely used by insurgents in Afghanistan.
Interesting - a pressure cooker would certainly hold in the pressure and allow a greater dispersion of the shrapnel than would just a piece of PVC. My thoughts tell me that the higher the internal pressure can build before the case breaks, the greater the dispersion of the shrapnel, and the greater the velocity.
Who buys 2 pressure cookers? Should be pretty easy to track the source.
NEW DELHI: Terrorists in camps purportedly operating along the Baluchistan border between Pakistan and Afghanistan are being trained in making and exploding pressure cooker bombs, which were used in the Delhi blasts last year and at least in two explosions in Varanasi this past Tuesday.
During interrogation, Mohammad Ibrahim, who was arrested for his involvement in the Special Task Force office blast in Hyderabad in October last, allegedly disclosed that he along with several others from Hyderabad and Ahmedabad had been sent to the Baluchistan border camp via Bangladesh to undergo training in the handling of explosives, arms and ammunition.
The “course” also included the manufacturing of pressure cooker bombs fitted with clock-timer, similar to the one used in the improvised explosive device defused at Godolia in Varanasi on Tuesday.

Pressure cooker ban.... on the way.
I believe that is not the case, it appears that they were TATP (triacetone triperoxide) bombs.
Ban all pressure cookers! DiFi, draw up the legislation!
Interesting release from DHS in 2010 here:

Wonder if Zero thinks this is a terrorist attack or just some housewife disgruntled over taxes?
When pressure cookers are outlawed....only outlaws will have pressure cookers.
Ping for later
Does anyone know where there might be a pressure cooker ‘buy back’ program? I have 3 old ones out in the barn. I am ready to turn them in.
Time to ban pressure cookers.

Could that be a hint?
