- There are a number of textfiles about how to make bombs, but very few
- about how to protect yourself from them. I guess this may be the first.
- Those textfiles are of course just for informational purposes but some
- people just don't get it I guess... I might give a statement about this
- textfile as well. This textfile is NOT for informational purposes only,
- this may save your life.
- The number of letter-bombs have increased lately, a while ago a swedish
- anti-racist activist received a video tape which turned out to contain a
- lethal bomb which would have exploded if he had tried to play the tape. In
- Denmark, Germany and in the USA people have been killed by letter-bombs.
- So if you think someone is after you, you have every reason to be careful.
- A few years ago you could safely assume that a letter weighing below 100
- grammes would not contain a bomb big enough to kill. But with electronics
- and batteries getting smaller and with more powerful explosives this has
- changed. A lethal letter can now weigh far less that 100 grammes!
- You may receive several false bombs, just to irritate and scare you as
- well as putting you off your guard when the real bomb shows up.
-
- Here are some good advice to follow:
-
- * Watch out for unexpected letters but be especially careful when you
- receive a letter or parcel from someone you think you know. It is not
- unusual for bombers to use the address of a known organization or
- individual and there have been cases where envelopes containing
- letter-bombs have looked like a genuine mailing from an organization or
- company.
- * If you are uncertain about a letter that looks genuine, call the sender
- and find out before you open the letter. Better safe than sorry... If you
- receive a letter that is suspicious, don't hesitate to call the police.
- The police will not complain about being called out if it turns out to be
- a false alarm.
- * Most important, do *not* mess with something you think is a bomb. You
- don't know how to disarm it - very few people do - and if you start
- messing with it, you are likely to end up in a hospital, or worse.
- Police bomb squads have trained personnel and the necessary equipment to
- deal with a bomb, and even they do not try to tamper with it or try to
- disarm it. The usual procedure is to let it go off, safely.
- * The same procedure applies to small "firecracker" bombs. A small bomb
- may not kill you but it can do a lot of damage including severe burns,
- loss of eyesight or forced amputation of a hand or arm.
- * If you absolutely feel that you have to open the parcel or letter, try to
- open it carefully and look for any signs that may hint that it is a bomb,
- like electric wires, batteries and so on. If you find anything like that,
- leave it and call the police. Always open it from the other side than usual,
- then it may not go off. This saved Hagge Geigert, a swedish media
- personality.
-
- That was the most important things I had to say, and remember the golden
- rule: Better safe than sorry. And let's be careful out there!
