How are terrorists using the internet to make bombs?

Thanks Sam, it works and I no longer need RTK's credit card

SoiCowboy,
I need to do some research, but during our last course with the METs SO13 and SO15 earlier this year, the stats for ANFO were less than 20 percent. Large devices or incidences such as The Oklahoma Bomber Mcveigh require far more background and, to say the least room for the IED (you need a lot because correctly mixed ANFO has barely 75% of commercial grade TNT's explosive force). Furthermore, ANFO is extremely unstable and sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Comp. B and C (aka C4) (military grade explosives used in artillery shells and demolitions) are very stable or insensitive, and relatively easy to come by, especially in Iraq.

I'll get off my soapbox now
