The news also says that the local Police together the Police Special\nTask Force are investigating with the assistance of the Government Analyst\nDepartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is very\nclear from the description of the incident that the two youths Abdul Muhthalib\nMujibur Rahman and Abdul Muthalib Mohammed Mufsil were making a rudimentary\nPipe Bomb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wikipedia\nexplains a pipe bomb as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp;pipe\nbomb&nbsp;is an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Improvised_explosive_device\">improvised\nexplosive device<\/a>&nbsp;which\nuses a tightly sealed section of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pipe_(material)\">pipe<\/a>&nbsp;filled with an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Explosive_material\">explosive material<\/a>. The containment provided by the\npipe means that simple&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Explosive_material#Low_explosives\">low explosives<\/a>&nbsp;can be used to produce a\nrelatively large explosion due to the containment causing increased pressure,\nand the fragmentation of the pipe itself creates potentially lethal&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fragmentation_(weaponry)\">shrapnel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Premature\ndetonation is a hazard of attempting to construct any homemade&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bomb\">bomb<\/a>, and the materials and methods used with pipe bombs make unintentional\ndetonation incidents common, usually resulting in serious injury or death to\nthe assembler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many\ncountries, the manufacture or possession of a pipe bomb is a serious&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Crime\">crime<\/a>, regardless of its intended use.\u201d Further information on Pipe Bombs can\nbe obtained by visiting the following web site : <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pipe_bomb\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pipe_bomb<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now it\nis up to the Police to investigate the matter as one related to terror\nactivities and proceed without \u2018pussy footing\u2019 around the incident and wasting\nunnecessary time and government funds. This one is clearly an Islamic Terror\nrelated project that has backfired on the two-misguided youth, now at the\nreceiving end of what they intended to do elsewhere on unsuspecting innocents. The\nPolice should not leave any \u2018stone unturned\u2019, as this is definitely not an\nisolated incident, but with many connections to minor masterminds of which\nthere could be hundreds within the island who are self-radicalized either on their\nown reading Islamic Texts or through involvement with like-minded individuals\nor organizations within or outside Sri Lanka. All those involved will lie\nthrough their teeth as they are proficient in the Art of Al Taquiyya!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the\nexisting political climate and the desperation of the failed Islamic Project to\nincite violence from among the population following the Easter Sunday Terror attacks,\nthis type of activity to revive the failed project is to be expected. Time is\nof the essence for the government to be doubly vigilant and eradicate without\nimpunity all sources of terror within Sri Lanka. The danger to the ordinary\ncitizens of Sri Lanka is still very high from the purveyors of Islamic Terror\nas well as from resurgent LTTE terror groups! &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ratanapala 26 April 2021 It was reported on Sri Lankan media about an incident involving two Muslim youths at Pannala in Ibbagamuwa, receiving injuries while making what is supposed to be fireworks.
