FBI agent testifies shoe bomb could have brought down plane,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
2001-12-29 04:00:00 PDT Boston -- A federal investigator testified yesterday that 's sneakers, which he is suspected of trying to ignite on a transatlantic jetliner last Saturday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], were part of a "homemade bomb" containing a highly unstable explosive powerful enough to have blown a hole in the plane.
Such a hole could lead to explosive decompression of the cabin and, because Reid was sitting in a window seat near the wing, could also have ignited the aircraft's fuel tanks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said , a special agent for the FBI.
Either situation could cause an airplane to crash,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], although planes have managed to land after suffering accidents that tore holes in the fuselage, she said.
The explosive,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, is used almost exclusively by terrorists and favored by Palestinian bombmakers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], experts say. But it is so volatile that several bombmakers have been killed by accidental explosions of their own creations.
Another federal law enforcement source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said yesterday that Reid's black suede high-top basketball sneakers also contained pentaerythritol tetranitrate, or PETN, a chemical ingredient in plastic explosives. The official said the TATP was designed to be used as an accelerant to ignite the PETN.
PETN, somewhat more powerful than TNT,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is commonly used in missiles and bombs, but usually as the detonator, not as the main explosive. PETN is commercially available for uses such as detonation cords for setting off mine blasts or building demolitions. It has also been used as a heart medicine, like nitroglycerin, to widen blood vessels.
TATP, by contrast, has "no practical commercial use," said Dr. ,
an independent consultant for chemical health and safety in Silver Spring, Md.
TATP is extremely unstable and can sometimes be set off just by dropping it.
"Anyone with that in his shoe would have to be very careful not to stamp his shoe in disgust," Young said.
EXPLOSIVE EASY TO MAKETATP has become the explosive of choice for Palestinian bombmakers because it is inexpensive and can be made from acetone, hydrogen peroxide and other readily available chemicals.
In a detention hearing for Reid in federal court in Boston yesterday, Cronin testified that preliminary tests of the shoes indicated that "the sneakers are a functioning improvised explosive device -- in layman's terms, a homemade bomb."
, which was carrying 197 people from Paris to Miami, was diverted to Boston after Reid was seen trying to light a fuse in his shoe and was subdued by crew members and passengers.
Reid appeared in court yesterday alongside two federal public defenders, one of whom questioned Cronin for almost an hour. Throughout the proceedings, Reid sat quietly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], slightly bowed.
Magistrate Judge rejected the request of Reid's lawyers that his handcuffs and leg shackles be removed. Dein ruled that Reid,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 28,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was both a flight risk and a danger to the community, and ordered him held without bail pending further court proceedings.
Reid, who was interrogated twice by the FBI before he was assigned lawyers to represent him, told investigators that he has lived most of his life in Europe at various locations for short periods of time. He also told investigators he was never "officially" employed, but has worked as a construction worker and kitchen helper for restaurants and construction companies in Europe.
Reid is charged with interfering with the duties of a flight attendant by assault or intimidation, a crime that carries a sentence of as long as 20 years in prison. Prosecutors appeared in no hurry yesterday to charge him with possession of explosives or any other more serious charge, although they suggested again that additional charges might be filed at some point.
