From the story (which is only about 5 paragraphs):
-- PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia Bomb Squad says the lack of a detonator cap prevented the military explosive found Friday from destroying a Greyhound bus terminal. The suitcase containing a third of a pound of C-Four explosive and a thousand feet of detonator cord was placed in a bus station locker on September 29th. Since it was unclaimed, a bus station employee opened it today in order to give any clothing inside to charity. Police were called after the worker discovered a putty-like material. -- How much damage could about 6 ounces of C4 do? For the interested, here's a great recipe for composition 4 explosives: http://www.pointlesswasteoftime.com/tech/c4.html -- Greg

Since some of the chemicals cited in above recipe are not so easily obtainable, so feel free to substitute them by powdered RDX and a plasticizer in a 91:9 ratio. A good plasticizer can be made from polyisobutylene, motor oil, and Di(2-ethylhexyl) sebaceate.
