Attacks in Mumbai and the 2010 attack in Stockholm used pressure cookers as containers. Recent plots foiled in France employed pressure cookers. All of these were Islamic terrorists. These are not something used by angry white anti gov people if you look back over history 🙂 ---

If you’re here in the US picking a random bomb design off the internet you’re probably going to pick a pipe bomb. It’s easy, readily available at any store and you can buy the parts without anyone remembering you. If you trained in a terrorist camp in Afghanistan or Pakistan though you learned a pressure cooker bomb because every house in that part of the world has at least one pressure cooker. They are the microwaves of shitty dirt eating countries. Here in the US if you want a big 6 liter one like was used in the attack you’re probably going to have to order it. That’s a silly risk to take unless that’s the only kind of bomb you know how to make because you were trained. ---

They have made it very clear that this attack has shown methods used in both foreign and domestic attacks. I think you will see someone from the United States who took some of the techniques used in those bombings LZ is speaking off. Just my opinion on it. ---

You are speculating. Who’s to say that they couldn’t have made these bombs to take pressure off of them and make it look like someone else did the bombing. Are we 100% sure that was the type of bomb used? Or is this all media talk. Were these bombs actually confirmed by federal officials to be a pressure cooker? Not doubting anything you are saying, just really curious. I haven’t had a chance to keep tabs on everything going on. ---
