Glad they took themselves out before potentially killing or injuring anyone else - from the Minneapolis, MN Star-Tribune:
Agents find 'explosives laboratory' at Wisconsin apartment
Court records say a state Department of Justice agent found an "explosives laboratory" and white supremacist literature while investigating a fatal explosion at a Wisconsin apartment building.
State investigator Kevin Heimerl says he found 13 jars of the explosive triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, in the Beaver Dam home, along with bomb-making instructions. WKOW-TV reports Heimerl says containers labeled TATP were also found in an apartment garage.
The explosion last month killed 28-year-old Benjamin Morrow, who lived in the apartment.
Yikes - I consider myself to be a competent chemist and have played with various explosives. I would not touch TATP if you paid me. Very nasty stuff. (P.S. - I still have all ten of my fingers).
A bit more:
TATP can explode if subjected to heat, friction, static electricity or shock. Authorities were forced to burn down the apartment building because the chemicals were too volatile to remove.
I rest my case. The muslim bomb builders love this stuff because it is cheap and can be made from common chemicals. They also call it The Mother of Satan with good reason.
