You know those Casio watches that we all had as a kid? Yeah those cheap resin strap digital watches with that annoying alarm sound. When we were kids it was the coolest and when we became teens we wanted to throw it away so badly (only to be revived again by the hipster culture).


Guess what. I just found out that terrorists in used this watch
(Casio F91W) to construct time bombs! Wow!

"The U.S. military cites the digital watches worn by prisoners when they were captured as possible evidence of terrorist ties. Casios have been used repeatedly in bombs, after all, including one used by the architect of the 1993 World Trade Center attack; the explosive device was set off on a Philippine Airlines flight, killing a passenger."

From what i read, there were this few terrorists that were in a hotel constructing bombs when they accidentally set the place on fire. When the cops came they found the manual on how to make the watch act as a time bomb.
fancy watch you have there, Osama.

I'm getting me a Casio watch.
