9.0 CHECKLIST FOR RAIDS
checklist for raids on labs in the end, the serious
terrorist would probably realize that if he/she wishes to make a
truly useful explosive, he or she will have to steal the
chemicals to make the explosive from a lab. a list of such
chemicals in order of priority would probably resemble the
following: liquids solids _______ ______ ____ nitric acid ____
potassium perchlorate ____ sulfuric acid ____ potassium chlorate
____ 95% ethanol ____ picric acid (usually a powder) ____ toluene
____ ammonium nitrate ____ perchloric acid ____ powdered
magnesium ____ hydrochloric acid ____ powdered aluminum ____
potassium permanganate ____ sulfur ____ mercury ____ potassium
nitrate ____ potassium hydroxide ____ phosphorus ____ sodium
azide ____ lead acetate ____ barium nitrate
10.0 useful pyrochemistry in general, it is possible to make many chemicals
from just a few basic ones. a list of useful chemical reactions
is presented. it assumes knowledge of general chemistry; any
individual who does not understand the following reactions would
merely have to read the first five chapters of a high school
chemistry book. 1. potassium perchlorate from perchloric acid and
potassium hydroxide k(oh) + hclo> KClO + H O

The Al will be a very fine silvery powder at the bottom of the container
which must be filtered and dried. This same method works with nitric and
sulfuric acids, but these acids are too valuable in the production of high
explosives to use for such a purpose, unless they are available in great excess.
