>However, the fourth vessel, known as shred 737 and now held at the Royal Ontario Museum, contained the chemical ingredients for an explosive device
This is fascinating, but a bit skimpy on identifying the explosive materials. In another part of the article it speculates on a "locally" invented explosive. It seems like it would be a somewhat trivial matter to determine the exact chemical constituents (and even ratios), so I hope they can do that and publish soon.
Also, it is freaking fantastic that after 50 years, the holy hand grenade of Antioch may turn out not to have been quite so fictitious after all.
