Soldier of God
“Working with explosives was a tricky business. The Polish-made Semtex was in itself not unstable. In fact, the dead gray, puttylike substance could be thrown against a wall, struck with a hammer, or even put into a fire, and yet it would not explode.
It was the triggering mechanisms that were extremely delicate and dangerous.
A wrong move at this stage—when he was wiring the twenty kilos of bricks to a single trigger so that at the proper time the entire mass would explode at the same instant—w...ould be disastrous.
He extended his right arm and raised his hand in front of his face so that it blocked a section of the not-so-distant mountains. When he spread his fingers, he could see strips of the highest, snowcapped peaks.
Mountains were power. Dear Osama had a perfect understanding of this when he first went to Afghanistan to drive the infidel Russians from the righteous land.
The jihad had taken ten long years. But what was that compared to the eternity of Paradise?
When the word came, the attack would take place in seventy-two hours.MoreLess
