| Abstract:
|
The text does not describe how to construct lethal devices. It provides examples to explain the reasons for the procedures for disposal and investigation of bombs. It also emphasizes that the construction of the bomb or the infernal machine and the conditions of the emergency situation are usually unique; no single procedure can be used in each case without deviation. The guidelines that although experienced handlers who use all the accepted precautionary methods can minimized the risk of untoward incidents, no absolutely safe method exists for handling many items. Individual chapters explain explosive and bomb disposal services and training, bomb carriers, equipment, the definition and characteristics of explosives, explosives and bomb laws, bomb search procedures, bomb disposal procedures, the search and disposal of bombs in motor vehicles, evidence of explosives, and principles of bomb protection. The author was also a member of the Bomb Advisory Group of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Photographs and index |
