前不久,被捕“基地”三号人物阿布·祖巴耶达赫供认,恐怖分子要在美国引爆“脏弹”,这一消息使美国社会陷入极度恐慌。所谓“脏弹”,即放射性炸弹,它使用传统的爆炸物如炸药等,通过爆炸把放射性物质,主要是放射性颗粒,扩散到更大的范围内。最通常的做法是,将爆炸物用球状或粉末状的放射性物质包裹起来,制成所谓的“脏弹”。 Not long ago, Abou Zoubaedah, the third man arrested on al-Qaida confession, terrorists detonated “dirty bombs” in the United States. This news sent the American community into extreme panic. The so-called “dirty bombs”, that is, radioactive bombs, use traditional explosives such as explosives to spread radioactive materials, mainly radioactive particles, into a larger area through explosions. The most common practice is to wrap explosives in the form of so-called “dirty bombs” in the form of globular or powdered radioactive material.
