GAZA CITY [MENL] -- Hamas has been using a powerful explosive for the
production of its Kassam-class, short-range missile.
Palestinian sources said the Hamas regime has been employing RDX for the
warhead of the Kassam missile. The sources said RDX, also known as
cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine or T4, was smuggled from Egypt and has
enhanced the blast of the Kassam, with a range of up to 20 kilometers. RDX
has been deemed one of the most powerful of military high explosives.
"It is a very powerful explosive," Abu Dejana, a leading Palestinian
missile producer, said. "We use it for missile warheads and for explosive
devices."
