Plastique

Filed under: Remainder — Jason Coleman @ 11:27 am

According to Wikipedia: "The origin of the U.S. term plastique is due to the plastic explosive introduced to the U.S. by the British in 1940. The samples of explosive brought to the USA by the Tizard Mission had been packaged by SOE ready for dropping to the French Resistance and were labeled in French, as Explosif Plastique." I wish more people called it plastique in the news.
