Crime

1. Crime

2. Electric Matches: Used in conjunction with a power source to ignite the main charge.Chemical Ignitors: Chemicals that react to initiate the explosion. 3. Explosive MaterialThis is the core of the IED, which causes the actual explosion. Types of explosives include:Commercial Explosives: Such as dynamite, TNT, or C-4.Military Explosives: Like Semtex or plastic explosives.Homemade Explosives: Created from readily available chemicals, such as fertilizer mixed with fuel oil (ANFO), or hydrogen peroxide mixed with acetone (TATP). 4. SwitchThe switch is the mechanism used to control the initiator. Different types of switches include:Remote Control Switches: Activated by a signal from a remote device, such as a cell phone, radio, or garage door opener.Timer Switches: Use timers to detonate the IED at a specific time. They can be mechanical or electronic.Pressure Plates: Activated by pressure changes, such as when someone steps on it or a vehicle drives over it.Tripwires : Activated by pulling a wire attached to the switch.Infrared , Light, or Motion Sensors: Detect movement, light changes, or vibrations to trigger the explosion. 5. ContainerThe container houses the IED components and can vary greatly in form. Examples include:Plastic Bottles: Easy to conceal and handle.Metal Pipes: Commonly used for their durability and ability to contain pressure.Backpacks , Briefcases, or Suitcases: Used to transport the IED inconspicuously.Vehicles : Can be packed with large amounts of explosives for significant damage (vehicle-borne IEDs, or VBIEDs).

3. . Power SourceThe power source is essential for initiating the explosion. Common power sources include: Batteries: Various types like AA, D-cell, 9-volt, or larger car batteries. Capacitors: Store electrical energy and release it quickly to trigger the detonator. Solar Cells: In some cases, solar power can be used to charge batteries or capacitors. 2. InitiatorThe initiator is the component that starts the detonation process. Types include: Blasting Caps: Small explosive devices that can be triggered electrically or by a fuse
