] Radios). The picture I saw was a Motorola TalkAbout

Very interesting. There is a picture of a nokia phone that someone has attached a small circuit board to. I assume the voltage for the ringer switches a relay that trips the explosive. Pretty tech savvy for an islamist fundi. They should find one of these guys for make magazine. :)
