Without going into details or giving a bomb making class, I can tell you unequivocally that Peroxide-based explosives such as TATP are routinely used by terrorists around the world. Although they are more dangerous to manufacture than some other types of explosives, there arebenefits from their employment that those "in the business" are very aware
of. In my opinon, this attack is not only plausible but appears to have been carefully thought out and was close to execution. We dodged the bullet.
