Mr T Suresh a forensic expert of city police who was part of the team that defused the bomb in August 2007 said, "the wooden crate bomb is to hold shaped charge. It works like a directional mine. During explosion the sharpnels will be distribute in all directions. Ammonium nitrate gel with emulsifier is stuffed in the thin aluminium cover and then placed in wooden crate."
Around 1.5 kg of explosive material and 1400 grams of ball bearings are used in the bomb. A nine volt battery was also found in it.
A senior official of State police said, "the wooden crate bombs are similar in twin explosions in the city and that in Surat and Ahmedabad. In the city they are wrapped as gift packets but now they are placed in polythene bags." In Surat a bomb in wooden crate was found at Nupur hospital.
