Israele a caccia di collaborazioni scientifiche in Italia nel campo degli
esplosivi e delle armi sperimentali

Pubblichiamo una corrispondenza molto inquietante intercettata tra un
partner italiano di un centro di ricerca israeliano e una università nel
nostro paese, con il quale si richiedono ricercatori per un progetto sulla
tematica della sicurezza. Nell'ultima parte del messaggio troverete le
caratteristiche desiderate per l'eventuale partner italiano dal centro di
ricerche israeliano. Che cosa sta succedendo veramente nelle nostre
università e nei nostri centri di ricerche? E' ora di sollevare il
coperchio delle collaborazioni a fini bellici tra Italia e Israele.


Gentile Dott.*******,
Vi invio la richiesta di un centro di ricerca israeliano alla ricerca di
partner italiani da includere in un loro progetto nella tematica SICUREZZA.

Troverete, di seguito, una breve descrizione del progetto e le
caratteristiche del partner richiesto.

Nel caso foste interessati al progetto non esitate a contattarmi, facendo
riferimento al codice SEC-PT-SMCP-1

><Descrizione: The scope of this proposal includes investigation of

>and characterization of these explosives, which represent a rapidly growing
>threat to public security posed by terrorist organizations worldwide.
>Obviously, the development of detection technologies is of particular
>importance because standard methods and devices that are currently deployed

>airports and other public facilities for detection of conventional
>explosives
>cannot detect the peroxides. We are looking for corporate and academic

>Abstract ? Peroxide based explosive, including TATP, DADP and HMTD
>represent a
>growing challenge to public security. The threat arises primarily from the
>fact
>that these explosives are easily prepared from cheap raw materials that are
>available in the free market and from the fact that these explosives are
>quite
>difficult to detect. Neither training nor experience is required for the
>synthesis of these explosives and for their use in improvised explosive
>devices
>(IEDs). Furthermore, these materials, which serve as both detonator and
>main
>charge, can be initiated by a spark, minor friction or impact. It is a
>particularly alarming that various terrorist groups have started to combine
>these sugar-like substances with various polymeric binders and pigments to
>produce plastic explosives that are soft, and hand malleable, more
>resistance
>to mechanical stress and have the benefit of being less sensitive than the
>crystalline substance and can be molded into innocent-looking toys, food or
>household items.
>Obviously, there is an urgent need for the development of detection and
>identification technologies. In addition, there are many other aspects of
>the
>problem that should be pursued. These include comprehensive study of their
>chemistry and properties, including post blast analysis and identification
>of
>the type, fast and reliable on-site neutralization of captured material,
>identification of the manufacturing method, as well as origin of the
>captured
>explosives.
>
>The Work Plan - the proposed work plan comprises eight Work Packages:
>WP1 Synthesis and characterization of Improvised Explosives
>• Study various synthetic methods of TATP, DADP, HMTD and their
>analogs.
>• Determine physico-chemical properties and characterize the various
>peroxides.
>• Prepare plastic peroxide explosives using various binders and dyes.
>• Study the above described compounds by XRD, DSC and X-ray
>crystallography.
>• Study the metal binding properties of TATP by isothermal
>calorimetry and
>NMR.
>WP2 Study of the explosion parameters by a fast camera
>• Study the decomposition pathway by monitoring with a fast camera.
>• Study methods of initiation.
>• Study the spectral parameters of the explosion.
>WP3 Effect of binders and solvents.
>• Study composition sensitivity and properties.
>• Develop detection technologies.
>• Post blast analysis.
>WP4 Development of detection methods
>• Detection of explosives in captured materials and on suspected
>surfaces
>• Development of specific sniff-detectors for gas phase detection.
>WP5 Neutralization of captured materials
>• Controlled neutralization of peroxide explosives in urban areas.
>• Removal and handling of peroxide-based explosive devices.
>WP6 Dissemination and Exploitation
>WP7 Management
