Parents do you know where your children are?

This is why you have to watch them closely and supervise their usage of the net. While they should be ok reading this site never let them download recipes from muslim websites. The names and religion of those involved were not reported but I smell a muslim behind this.

For the second time in two days, bomb disposal experts had to detonate homemade explosives in downtown Langley on Tuesday.

A panicked teenager had hidden the small bombs Monday, one on a store and another on the street, after explosions wounded two other boys. It’s lucky that no one picked up the two bombs on Monday or Tuesday before RCMP officers could find and neutralize them, said Cpl. Peter Thiessen. At about 10:45 a.m. on Tuesday, the Langley RCMP received a tip that a local teenager was heading to Liquidation World to remove a home-made explosive device hidden there the day before. Police officers at Liquidation World found two teenagers, including one 15-year-old who had left the bomb in the store the day before, Thiessen said.

The 15-year-old cooperated with the police and showed them where the small device, about the size of a pen, was located. He also told them where he had dropped a larger bomb, about the size of a cigar box, in the 5400 block of 203rd Street. The Liquidation World was evacuated until members of the RCMP Explosives Disposal Unit could arrive several hours later. They detonated both small explosives, and no one was harmed.

Thiessen said it appears that the teenager simply panicked about holding onto the bombs during the chaos surrounding two explosions on Monday.

At about 3:20 p.m. on that day, two teens were injured when unstable homemade explosives detonated. One blast, at the home of the bomb-maker in the 20200 block of 56th Avenue, broke windows. The 18-year-old had been making explosives when some of his supply exploded. He suffered injuries to a hand, his face and his torso and was treated at Langley Memorial Hospital.

The Explosives Disposal Unit safely blew up more of the teen’s stash of explosives. Just minutes before that incident, one of the teenager’s friends had been injured when a bomb they had made went off in his hand at the bus stop near the Liquidation World.

The 15-year-old who was involved in Tuesday’s incident was a friend of the other two individuals, said Thiessen. There are believed to have been four boys and young men involved altogether in the incidents.

It is unclear right now if charges will be laid, but an investigation is ongoing, said Thiessen.

The explosives had been made with recipes from the internet. Police have renewed their warnings that such bomb-making instruction manuals are dangerous, as are the unstable explosives that can be made.

The explosive in this case appears to have been triacetone triperoxide, a powerful but highly unstable explosive.

It can be set off by changes in temperature, by impact or by friction. It can be made using commonly available over the counter ingredients.
