“EXCLUSIVE: Photos of the Northwest Airlines Bomb
Accused Bomber Abdulmutallab’s Underwear, Explosive Packet and Detonator”
By RICHARD ESPOSITO and BRIAN ROSS
Dec. 28, 2009

SNIPPET: “UNDERWEAR WITH EXPLOSIVE PACKET
In the second photo (below), the packet of actual explosive powder has been removed from the underpants and displayed separately.”

SSNIPPET: “UNDERWEAR AND EXPLOSIVE PACKET

It is a six-inch long packet of the high explosive chemical called PETN, less than a half cup in volume, weighing about 80 grams.

A government test with 50 grams of PETN blew a hole in the side of an airliner. That was the amount in the bomb carried by the so-called shoe bomber Richard Reid over Christmas 2001.

The underpants bomb would have been one and a half times as powerful.”
