this:

Thermobaric and fuel-air explosives have been used by terrorists since the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing in Lebanon which used a gas-enhanced explosive mechanism, probably propane, butane or acetylene.[7] The explosive used by the bombers in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing was based on the FAE principle, using three tanks of bottled hydrogen gas to enhance the blast.[8]In 2002, Jemaah Islamiyah bombers used a shocked dispersed solid fuel charge[9], based on the thermobaric principle[10], to attack the Sari nightclub in the 2002 Bali bombings.[11]
