I've read reports that it was suspected that nails were packed in with the explosives in order to maximise the shrapnel radius, looking at those pictures I would be inclined to believe those reports. Nails and ball bearings are usually used like that.

Have a look here and pick out your own definition.

Had the list been less populated action may well have ensued shortly after the original post.

So, ikalugin, care to elaborate or point out the precise definition/context you were trying to convey?

Yup, those reports are right. After raiding an apartment in Brussels, the police found Nail bombs, chemicals, and an ISIS flag.

I know there is a lot of emotions and other things we are dealing with, make sure we put them in the right threads and we don't blow this up into terrorism thread 2.0

Agreed and having said that, ISIS/Daesh have already claimed responsibility.

I was refering to the "/b/tard creed". But I guess I have failed to make a comic reference.

How DO they claim responsibility? They can't just use a Daesh Twitter account, because that would have been taken down already.

I think you know how my post was meant. If you really don't, be advised that of course I do not want any of that to happen.
However, it makes me furious how stunned people are about what is happening for years and what is increasing since a few months now.

All we should be surprised about is that we haven't been hit MUCH harder and more often yet.

And the nails and stuff in bombs. Really?
That is bomb-making-101. How is this still shocking in any way?

The reports of chemicals are a bit concerning. They could just be for bomb creation though rather than actually being weaponised themselves. Otherwise, why not open with a chemical attack rather than use it as a follow up when all the security services are alerted?
Unless, of course, the theory that this attack was actually brought forward because of the arrest of the Paris attacker the other day and the reports that he was co-operating with police.

I don't know, I can only say I still have no idea what you're on about, but still would like an elaboration.
