Hey Joe,
Do you know anything about explosives that are detonated viacell-phones?

I think I’ve decided to (hypothetically) attack a mall since there’spractically no security, they’re crowded, and they seem like the type oftarget my chosen group would go after. I’d like to set off bombs inseveral different key pubic areas, as well as some car-bombs in theparking garage. The main goal of my terrorist group will be death anddestruction, but actually bringing down the building would be considereda big plus. However, I know about as much about main building supportsas I do about explosives, so I still have a lot of research to do.
