Israeli Bomb Experts Help UK Soldiers
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Anshel Pfeffer - British bomb experts have received training from the IDF's central weapons laboratory on the types of bombs used by Islamist terrorists. The Substances Laboratory, part of the IDF Ground Command's Experiment and Quality Control Unit near Tel Aviv, is a mecca for explosives specialists from around the world. One of the main roles of the lab is to analyze all bombs and ammunition used against Israeli forces and civilians and devise methods of countering them. Lt.-Col. Eran Tuval, the lab's commander, has hosted officers from the U.S., Britain, Germany and Italy. "They come here to learn how the IEDs are built and work and how to deal with them." "After the bomb attacks in London in 2005, experts from Scotland Yard came here," says Tuval. "They were trying to analyze the bombs that hadn't gone off....We were also asked to help them after the case of the shoe bomber."
