| Media Silence On Attack On Amsterdam Bus |
| 2006-10-28 |
| H/T No Pasaran! THE HAGUE - A bus with passengers in Amsterdam was attacked by a home-made chemical explosive on Friday evening. The incident received only limited media attention. Police do not believe terrorism is involved. At around 10:00 p.m. Friday evening in the Duivendrecht district, a group of youths threw a plastic bottle with chemicals into a stationary bus carrying 20 passengers. The bottle exploded and a panic broke out. Two passengers suffered burns on their legs, local broadcaster RTV Noord-Holland reported based on police information. RTV Noord-Holland said it is unknown what liquid the bottle contained. Unconfirmed sources however say it was a liquid for unstopping drains. If this substance is mixed with aluminium and shaken up in a bottle, it explodes a few seconds later. As well as burns, the explosion can cause blindness and knock people unconscious. That would be a *real* firebomb, not a "chemical weapon"; btw, from the little I know, french Youths still haven't mastered the concept of molotov coktails (and so do the msm), and instead use simple gasoline filled bottles. The usual use for liquid drain-cleaning acid, or car battery acid, is not into real firebombs like here, but to fill bottles with it, and throw them at riot polices. Nasty burns. The two passengers, women aged 36 and 27, had their burns treated in hospital. The police confirmed that the driver was also hospitalised, for breathing problems. A spokesman said the assumption is not terrorism but "mischievous behaviour." The perpetrators disappeared without trace. A spokeswoman for Kruidvat drugstore in Duivendrecht confirmed on local TV station AT5 that many youngsters have recently been buying the product for unstopping drains. The store has removed the product from its shelves. Did they find the recipe on internet, in a jihadi website? Or is there a trained person among them? Algemeen Dagblad newspaper reported the incident on its website. Otherwise, it was not reported by leading media. |
