Ex-Soldier Says Glorietta Bomb Too Clean for Terrorists

Former Philippine military man Ram Catadman left the following comments over at Manolo Quezon’s blog regarding the Glorietta bombing:

If it was a serious terrorist bombing (Islamist/NPA, etc.), the body count could have been more, the target should be a crowded area, and the deaths or injuries should have been more than blast-related or “shock wave” induced. We should have seen more blood, dismemberment, and terror. As it is, it was a clean blomb, more percussive (just for loud noise) than destructive, they did not find traces, of course they never will. RDX is the signature of C4, if they insist on looking for the detonator in this case a blasting cap it has already been blown to smithereens. If this were tradditional terrorists, shrapnel should have found, (nails, ball bearings, etc.) but there isn’t. This was intentional, clean, and well aimed, with deliberate calculation for as low collateral damage as possible, designed to “make a loud noise.” Terrorists, the genuine ones’ message is “HATE” so in their attacks its always calculated for maximum casualty, grim, bloody, terror.
Only old tacticians are so predictable, beware of pacifists, they are as destructive as those who cry “foul!”

The water will wash out traces of the explosive, very convenient, it washed itself. I heard earlier that they found traces of RDX (C4 related). What a shame, if they confirmed C4, not many people has access to it, only the military and mining companies (legally), then it will appear we were attacked by angry miners. The MILF, RSM, have nothing to gain by bombing this area, they can get national attention just by ambushing our soldiers in their territory where they have they have terrain advantage.

If you were a terrorist who stole hard-to-obtain military explosives, you certainly wouldn’t waste them on a few restos. You’d stick that C-4 near some support columns and bring down the building. Something definitely doesn’t add up here.

    if i want to spread terror ,i would have chosen sm mega or mall of asia,or lrt and mrt.maybe the rumors are true ,that they just did this to scare the people so that the government will have the reason to declare state of emergency or even martial law,(hope not)

  2. I’v done some research about RDX on Wiki, and I found out that RDX was an acronym for Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine, an explosive nitroamine. Many acronyms for this C4 component were Cyclonite, T4, H-6 and Hexogen. Nomenclature variants include Cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine and Cyclotrimethylene Trinitramine.
    Here’s the link about this infamous component: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDX

  3. as long as the pnp is involved in the investigation truth will always be subservient to the powers that be. im tired of the reptilian brain taking charge of this investigation. Its amazing how they utter lies in national media without bliking an eye. They are now telling its the septic tank methane gas and the diesel fumes that caused this explosion and the by product is this “RDX” stuff. Can somebody tell me how human shit can deliver such bloody explosion. How and what is the trigger mechanism. Im becoming afraid to drive my diesel car and fart inside my car for fear of turning my car into a truck bomb he he he
