FBI LAB IN WASHINGTON EXAMINATION REPORT
EXPLOSIVES UNIT, GREGORY A. CARL EXAMINER
ON OCTOBER 28, 2000, A SERIES OF EXPLOSIVES TESTS WERE CONDUCTED
IN SOCORRO, NEW MEXICO. THE PURPOSE OF THE TEST WAS TO DETERMINE
WHETHER OR NOT A MODIFIED 12-VOLT FLASHING LAMP WOULD INITIATE
AND SUBSEQUENTLY DETONATE A QUANTITY OF HMTD AND RDX TAKEN FROM
SAMPLES Q41–Q50 AND ITEM Q40. THE ITEMS USED IN THESE TESTS
WERE PHOTOGRAPHED BEFORE THE TEST. BASED UPON THE RESULTS OF
THIS TEST, IT HAS BEEN CONCLUDED THAT WITH A MODIFIED 12-VOLT
FLASHING BULB, HMTD AND RDX CAN BE ASSEMBLED TO FUNCTION AS A
“HOMEMADE” ELECTRICAL BRIDGE WIRE DETONATOR. THIS DETONATOR
COULD THEN BE UTILIZED TO INITIATE OTHER LESS SENSITIVE HIGH
EXPLOSIVES SUCH AS EGDN.

RESULTS OF EXAMINATION
B1 MATCHES Q96

She paused here. So the key under Abdelaziz Arkoun’s mattress—she walked over to the part of the wall with that lab report—matched the key to unit #532 at the U-Stor-It in Everett— she walked to the part of the wall with that lab report. She looked at this Arkoun’s mug shot, taken from his passport. He weighed only one hundred and forty pounds. Five-foot-seven. She was bigger than he was. He looked shifty. He was in a multicolored shaded box with lines going to Kamal Gamal and Dhakir Yahyouai. There was a Heather Montrose in this same box. What was a Heather doing with Abduls and Mohammeds? There weren’t any Abduls or Mohammeds, to be truthful. Wait, was Abdel like Abdul? Abdelaziz. Abdelrafik. Maybe that was just another transliteration of Abdulaziz and Abdulrafik.
