EXAMPLE 2 – IMPROVISED VBIED DISRUPTOR, TWO-STAGE ATTACK

In this VBIED, the IED comprises an RC pack located in the centre console with the main charge in the trunk. The VBIED disruptor has been made from four 1-litre water bottles held in a square configuration. Sandwiched in the centre is 500 g of commercial plastic high explosives with a detonating cord link. This is attached to a wooden pole with the detonating cord running part-way along the pole, allowing for easy attachment of the detonator from outside the vehicle once the disruptor is in place.
