Delhi Blast Probe: Volatile TATP Explosive Suspected in Red Fort Attack

Delhi Blast Probe: Volatile TATP Explosive Suspected in Red Fort Attack
Delhi Blast Probe: Investigators probing the November 10 explosion near Delhi's Red Fort suspect the use of Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), a highly unstable and powerful explosive. The blast, which killed 13 people, involved a car-borne device believed to contain TATP mixed with other chemicals. TATP’s sensitivity to heat and friction means it can detonate without a traditional detonator.
