Hyderabad: Islamic State bombs could spread deadly gas

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The arrested ISIS sympathisers were not only trying to make a bomb but some sort of “chemical weapon” too that would release toxic gases. According to sources in the police department, 5- 6 kg of urea nitrate was kept ready by the terror suspects to prepare improvised explosive devices. A bomb-defusing expert of the TS police said, “Ibrahim Yazdani, his brother Ilyas and Fahad used urea and nitric acid to prepare urea nitrate in the storeroom of their house in Chandrayana-gutta. Preliminary examinations by state police experts have confirmed it as urea nitrate and a white chemical found in bottles as nitric acid and another chemical as hydrogen peroxide, used to make triacetone triperoxide or TATP, the ingredient for making bombs. NIA and TS police averted a major terror strike.” ISIS men had made urea nitrate An official investigating the arrested ISIS suspects said there were two types of ingredients, one to make TATP, which was used in Brussels and Paris attacks, and the other one is similar to that used in the first attack on the World Trade Centre in NY.
