Homemade Explosives School at Los Alamos

Homemade Explosives School at Los Alamos
Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are using their expertise in a variety of disciplines to prepare U.S. military personnel, including members of the New Mexico National Guard, to deal with homemade explosives that they might encounter while deployed in Afghanistan.

Personnel selected by the military attend an intensive course at the Laboratory to learn how to detect, identify, and characterize a wide variety of improvised explosive compounds and their ingredients from an Afghanistan-centric point of view.
