Bomb Factories & the First Responder, October 25, 2006 – The Forensic Science Institute hosted one of the world’s leading experts on explosive peroxides. Dr. Kirk Yeager from the FBI Laboratory presented a lecture specifically designed for the law enforcement, first responder and bomb squad communities. As Dr. Yeager stated, “the newest series of explosives to take hold in terrorist arsenals across the globe has been the peroxide family. Two explosives in particular, TATP and HMTD have emerged as serious threats.” Dr. Yeager has personally responded to scenes around the world following the use of these explosives to include Morocco, Turkey, Israel, Jordan and Uzbekistan. These explosives and precursors have also been encountered by law enforcement in the United States.
