The NYT is reporting this:
LONDON, July 11 - British investigators believe that the 10-pound bombs used in the coordinated terrorist attacks here contained "military quality" high-grade explosives, British and European counterterrorism officials said Monday [...]
On Monday, a senior European-based counterterrorism official with access to intelligence reports said the new information on the material indicated that the bombs were "technically advanced." The official added: "There seems to be a mastery of the method of doing explosions. This was not rudimentary. It required great organization and was well put together."
Where did they get their expertise? Maybe--as some investigators speculate in the Wall Street Journal--the men who did this are connected to the Madrid bombings. But of course there's another possibility: The Class of '05 might just have done its first post-graduate work.
