So this is an interesting run down on similar to Boston devices which have been reported in the news:
February 2013: A bomb hidden in a pressure cooker explodes inside a restaurant in northern Afghanistan, killing five people.
October 2012: French police find bomb-making materials in an underground parking lot near Paris as part of a probe into an attack on a kosher grocery. The discovery includes bags of potassium nitrate, sulfur, headlight bulbs and a container used as a make-shift pressure cooker.
May 2012: U.S. jurors hear that explosives experts had found a pressure cooker containing smokeless gunpowder and other material in the Texas motel room of a soldier accused of planning to blow up Fort Hood military troops and other personnel.
May 2010: One of the three devices used in the May 2010 Times Square
attempted bombing was a pressure cooker, according to a joint FBI and
Homeland Security intelligence report issued in July 2010.
March 2010: Suspected militants attack the U.S.-based Christian aid group World Vision in northwestern Pakistan, killing six Pakistani employees. Officials say the attackers remotely detonated a pressure cooker bomb.
March 2006: A series of bombings kill 20 people in India. One bomb - at a temple in the northern city of Varanasi where five people died - was placed in a pressure cooker and detonated by a timing device.
December 2004: Ten accused Islamic militants are convicted for their roles in a plot to blow up a Christmas market in the eastern French city of Strasbourg on New Year's Eve 2000. Authorities say the group had planned to blow up containers packed with explosives, a technique they allegedly learned in Afghan camps.
August 2002: Explosives packed in a pressure cooker shake a shopping mall in Katmandu, the capital of Nepal. Shops are damaged but there are no casualties.
So just interesting that we have a Chinese connection to Nepalese terrorists, to the Islamic terrorists, to someone a decade later in the United States.
Very interesting connections and theory possibilities.
