Not quite, although there are numerous DIY books ("Terrorist
Handbook was circulated back in 1984) and self-help websites,
getting the materials is no longer easy. The recent clampdown on
large quantity purchase of fertilizers, which could be made into
ANFO, is case in point. Anyway, any half baked demo trained
NCO/Officer call tell you that you need a detonator (elect or
non-elect) which can initate a shockwave at least 4,000fps to set
off the low explosives (lets nto get too technical here).
a suicide attack on the MRT at peak hours would cause
enough damage for a terrorist to claim success in hurting the
country, at the sametime announcing its presence.
Does it have to be suicide, remember that stoopid teacher, who
walked onto the track in AMK last year, she caused just as much
damage.
I've recently heard that there's an elderly malay
gentleman, age between 45- 70 yrs, who goes to a few MRT stations
& records its surrounding & every other details with a
hand-held compact video camera.
Serious case of concern here, although the interesting bits are
not on the platform...
Recent report on vunerabilities of MRT track (after another stoopid
fella drove his merc onto the track to Kathib); myself have seen
many 'un-fixed' or more vunerable sites not mentioned in the
report, wondering when/if SMRT will react. Maybe LTA needs another
kick up their backsides, before another Nicholl highway collaspe
(my view? LTA should have stopped work 3 days before collaspe).
enuff said for now.
