So for example if they used semtex or some other military grade explosive, then it most likely was acquired from ETA or IRA stocks... the ETA may have provided explosives for finacial support (they are hurting with France and Spain nailing some long operating cells this year), or from the IRA (or its many off-shoots) "decommisioned" arms caches. On the positive side if it was military grade explosives the origin of the explosive will be easier to trace, as most explosives manufactured since the late 70s have chemical signatures left in the residue.

They're all connected. I'm still amazed that nobody is able to stop the flow given how interconnected they have all become.
