I've seen one DIY tip for making a bomb (not dynamite). It said you
needed a rag, diesel, newspaper and the type of fertaliser which is
likely to explode (loaded with nitrogen).

Erm..

Erm...what?



Which, for obvious reasons, is apparently increasingly difficult to get
hold off.

No, it's not.

Ordinary fertiliser is easy to come by and does have nitrogen in it, but the
type which is supposed to be ideal for making explosives and loaded with
nitrogen is now supposed to be harder to get hold. Which would sensible
enough to me.



You have to empty some of the nitrogen in to the newspaper and then roll
the newspaper up. Dip the rag in diesel and then put it in the end of the
newspaper. You then have to light the rag and it then recommended
"running like f**k" and not doing it in a "confined area" such as an
"alley". Unless, of course, you wanted to blow it up.

That, fortunately, has no chance of exploding.


Surprising how easy it is. This is of course simply observational quoting
and for scientific use and reference only.

Quote some more like that, it may help!

I would've stood corrected if you were observant enough to point out that
it's actually the ammonium nitrate that is the key ingredient.

Get the right stuff and it's completely unstable. Take it you've got the
right fertiliser and tried it yourself have you? If you have, then
presumably you haven't got a full compliment of limbs and/or are writing
this from the other side?
