Because of the amount of forensic evidence that they got from all three
sites - mobile phones, handwritten notes et. al.

It's a bummer when the expected explosion doesn't happen and doesn't
destroy the evidence like you expected it to..
Especially as (if you believe El Reg) it probably wouldn't have
happened anyway.

El Reg is merely pointing out the known, ie, it's bloody hard to make a
fuel/air bomb. Even in tightly controlled conditions it's surprisingly
difficult to keep it controlled - an example is what happens when the
mixture goes awry in your cylinders. It only has to drift out a bit and
it stops burning very well, if at all.

Indeed. Mind you, the ones the Yanks have possess the power of a small
tactical nuke, don't they?

Actually, never mind the bombs. It's the kites you have to look out
for.

Anyone else think that this is... just, well, just a bit odd?

Further googling reveals a declaration by some religious rent-a-nutter
that kite flying is "un-Islamic".

Well - maybe not *quite* that pokey but certainly pretty powerful. And
pretty complex as well and the end result of an awful lot of research
and development.

So unlikely to be replicated by a couple of blokes in an old Merc.

This suggests the kite flying ban is not religious but just a
heavy-handed response to a dangerous pastime:

Not that I can see anything wrong with metallic kite strings near power
lines.

Indeed not. Don't a few fishermen with large carbon fibre rods do much
the same thing, every year?

Is it worth considering that, as medical personnel, they could have
had access to bottled oxygen?

Not read 'the Kite Runner' then? Apparently kite festivals are a big
deal. The kite strings would be covered in bits of glass, too.

Well most things are to an Islamic state, aren't they?

<surprised>

It was fairly brutal in places. The ending was a tad twee, but not
shying away from the problems still to come. What bits struck you as
sentimental?

Not read the second one.

I wasn't too fond of the book itself but it did have a nice
description of the kite festival. I haven't bothered getting the
second book.
