I have to say I am still surprised by the fact that the suicide bomber’s identification papers were found intact after he detonated almost 20kg of explosives.

how come u were not surprised in in Starco explosion when a copy of the car’s registration card was left in the same condition?
Ronz,
You mean the one that got half burned? I was surprised anything was left of it but the car registration is covered with a plastic if I am not mistaken and is not just paper + Chatah was in a different car.
You can’t even compare both situations to be honest and I am not trying to analyze things here. It’s just surprising to see the paper in such good shape.
Najib,
Just as the Chatah situation is incomparable to the Dahieh one, the Dahieh situation is incomparable to the video you posted. The main issue is that the pressure of the Dahieh explosion is what threw the ID away. All what this video did is put the ID next to some TNT, which was bound to react the way it did, assuming that the paper in question wasn’t tampered with between takes.
Hasan,
Well based on what we’ve seen from past explosions, the damage caused by 20kg of TNT is quite considerable to objects nearby and the explosion created burns everything around it rather than make them fly away. Remember how Chatah’s car looked like with 50kg of explosives placed in a car nearby not even the same car.
Anyway I am not the bomb expert but I found it funny that a piece of paper comes out in such good shape from an explosion that killed 6 people around it.
Hello Najib,
This is typical in explosions. Back when Rene Mouawad was assassinated, they found a large piece of a mint candy in his pocket, which was how they identified the body.
The story was published in Al Masira, ten years ago I think. I happen to be related to the person who gave him the candy.
I wouldn’t be surprised about the Ekhraj Ed, because it could have been covered with thick clothing or something. The test in the video cannot be compared to what happened in reality.
Hi Najib,
The passport and the ticket of the suicide bomber in Volvograd were also intact. Check this
