  • Ok, new acronym … I Am Not A Bomb Expert (IANABE) but this is just a somewhat explosive-noob educated guess …

    PETN can be mixed with a plasticizer and RDX to make a plastic explosive (or possibly a plastic casing that would surround a battery pack???)

    As it has been reported that some of the battery packs exploded even when they had been removed from the device, there must have been an igniter in the battery pack as well (engaged by a radio signal vs a software signal???)

    PETN has a high shattering effect (which may be why it was chosen to shatter a battery pack???)

    Everything in parentheses with ??? means a guess … because, again, IANABE.

    edit to add - how many explosve-trained dogs do you think walk around Lebanon, just checking out the scenery?
