No references found | In the new scheme, the researchers adapted the technology to detect two chemicals typically found in plastic explosives: pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and hexahydro-l,3,5-triazine (RDX). The New York Times reported in its Friday issue that chemists in the FBI laboratory in Washington had discovered traces of PETN, or pentaerythritol tetranitrate, on a piece of wreckage from the passenger cabin between rows 17 and 27, a finding that provided scientific evidence that an explosive device was detonated inside the passenger cabin. While the new finding provides evidence that the plane was destroyed by an explosive device, a senior official noted that PETN, or pentaerythritol tetranitrate, was an explosive component commonly found in many bombs and surface-to-air missiles, making it impossible, for now, to know for sure which type of explosive device destroyed the Boeing 747, killing all 230 people aboard. |
