AUTHORITIES FEAR THEY COULD BE THE FIRST OF A NEW GENERATION OF EXPLOSIVE DEVICES-- SMALLER, DEADLIER, AND HARDER TO STOP. BRIAN TODD EXPLAINS.<tab /> --REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS-- IT HAS EXPERTS WORRIED - THE IDEA THAT THE TERRORISTS IN THE BRUSSELS BOMBINGS HAVE MANAGED TO DEVELOP A NEW TYPE OF DEVICE… ONE THAT COMBINES THE PORTABILITY OF A SUICIDE VEST, WITH A MORE POWERFUL EXPLOSIVE... IN A SUITCASE. (Brian Todd, Reporting) "What kind of flexibility does it give them, to be able to pack something maybe with the explosive power of a car-bomb into this? (Rafi Ron, Former Israeli Airport Security Chief) "This is a- certainly it gives them a lot of flexibility." THIS PHOTO SHOWS THE THREE MEN... PUSHING SUITCASES ON CARTS -- BELIEVED TO BE THE BOMBS... TWO OF THE MEN- ARE WEARING ONLY ONE GLOVE EACH. INVESTIGATORS TELL CNN, THEY THINK IT"S POSSIBLE THAT EACH MAN"S GLOVE HID A DETONATOR. WHAT KIND OF EXPLOSIVE DID THEY USE? ONE POSSIBLE CLUE- IS WHAT POLICE LATER FOUND IN AN APARTMENT RAID:<tab /> (Frederic Van Leeuw, Belgian Federal Prosecutor) "15-kilograms of explosives, TATP, 150 liters of acetone, 30-liters of hydrogen peroxide, detonators."<tab /> T-A-T-P: A PEROXIDE-BASED, VERY UNSTABLE EXPLOSIVE THAT PACKS A NASTY PUNCH. THIS VIDEO SHOWS T-A-T-P COMBUSTING- JUST FROM A TINY FILM CANISTER. (Brian Castner, Former Air Force Bomb Disposal Technician) "TATP is one of the most sensitive explosives known to the bomb-tech community and it really takes very little initiation to set it off." IT"S SO DELICATE, EXPERTS SAY, THAT JUST TRYING TO MAKE A BOMB WITH T-A-T-P....CAN BE DEADLY. BUT, IF A TERRORIST IS SUCCESSFUL IN MAKING ONE, HE HAS ANOTHER ADVANTAGE. (Brian Castner, Former Air Force Bomb Disposal Technician) "It can be more dangerous because it"s difficult to detect." BOMBS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO DETECT.. EASY TO MAKE... COMBINING MASSIVE EXPLOSIVE POWER WITH ENOUGH MANEUVERABILITY TO NAVIGATE THROUGH A CROWDED AIRPORT... A TACTIC SO EFFECTIVE, EXPERTS WORRY- IT"LL BE REPEATED. (Rafi Ron, Former Israeli Airport Security Chief) "Certainly something that we will see quite a lot in the future. The number of casualties is usually high. And the effect that the terrorists want to achieve as a result is also very high." (Brian Todd, Reporting) "Does this kind of bomb, these kinds of tactics, mean that passengers are going to be screened at the entrances to airports? Rafi Ron says that would create other security risks-- like long lines of passengers at the curb, and they might be exposed to bombings or drive-by shootings. What this may require- Ron says- is more law enforcement officers roving near the entrances and ticket-counters, using detection dogs, behavioral screening methods and other measures. And even that may not prevent attacks like the ones we saw in Brussels. Brian Todd CNN Washington." -----END-----CNN.SCRIPT----- --KEYWORD TAGS-- BELGIUM TERROR ISIS ISLAMIC STATE OF IRAQ AND SYRIA
