The explosives used by the suicide bombers for the Easter Sunday attacks, had been improvised by the terrorists which neither the military nor the LTTE had used before, sources said.<\/p>\n
They said that the explosives were believed to have been created with combination of several chemicals.<\/p>\n
It was also revealed that bombers had used bulb filament to detonate the bombs.<\/p>\n
It was hard to believe that bombers had used military grade explosives because investigators could not find such explosives from the back pack used by the bombers.<\/p>\n
Explosives, such as TNT or RDX were not found from those explosives.<\/p>\n
According to the source, the Islamic State (IS) had used such explosives in most part of the world.<\/p>\n
The source said that a strong explosion could be achieved if right amount of various chemicals were combined.<\/p>\n
The investigators suspect that such technique could have been obtained from an overseas country.<\/p>\n
Following the Easter Sunday attacks on April 21, the Police raided a house in Panadura suspected to have been used by the suicide bombers.<\/p>\n
The source said that there was evidence to believe that chemicals were mixed at the Panadura house to create explosives.<\/p>\n
The Police recovered three burned cans suspected to have filled with chemicals from the house. They also recovered diagrams, several devises including incandescent bulbs.<\/p>\n
The house had been cleaned by the bombers to erase their traces.<\/p>\n
The source said that they were able to recover a bulb filament from the body of one of the bombers of the Shangri-La Hotel.<\/p>\n
The filament recovered from the suicide bomber\u2019s body was similar to those bulbs found from the Panadura house.<\/p>\n
The source said the devices and items recovered from the suicide attacks were handed over to a lab to determine the inclusive of the explosives.<\/p>\n
