One of the most well known, most destructive devices ever employed is the nuclear bomb. Developed by physicists working on the Manhattan Project in WWII, this atomic bomb is the equivalent of detonating thirty million pounds of TNT (Chow). Although these bombs have only been used twice in history during…

For Joel Talsma the majority of his time in Iraq was spent training local police forces and guarding detainees. His greatest threat was not direct combat, but IEDs or improvised explosive devices.

The New York Times finishes an update on Saturday’s bombing in New York by quoting an unnamed official, “We don’t understand the target or the significance of it,” the police official said. “It’s by a pile of Dumpsters on a random sidewalk.” It’s a valid question - why here?

We understand the choice of target and…

Perhaps I was delusional, thinking war would not be a dilemma for me so early in my career. This changed, when I became a driver in personal security detachment for my unit’s commander for our upcoming deployment. I never legitimately contemplated the thought of being in combat when I initially enlisted, consequently…

Although it did not include his motives like his journal, the ‘blog’ included statements about his making of pipe bombs. The parents of Brooks Brown, Judy and Randy, notified the police of the website. Eric unintentionally gave law enforcement a written confession of his intent to kill, two years before the massacre (165). The actions of the police during this period seemed less urgent than it should have been…

Outside of Afghanistan and Iraq, Colombia ranks first in the world in improvised explosive devices (IED) incidents. In addition to kidnapping, in the late 1970s, the FARC began trafficking cocaine to fund its activities, a practice that facilitated its rapid growth throughout the 1980s. The FARC’s newfound wealth and its provision of social services…
