Actually, radio signals or jamming could have set the bombs off.

It's terrible that anyone died in this. The fact that the terrorists had a bomb rigged specifically to kill the hostages before other bombs brought down the building let us know just how desperate the situation was. In the end, I believe lives were saved.

The horror in this is that the government wouldn't say what was used or give the hospital information needed to treat victims of the gas. I wonder how many of the 100+ lives could have been saved, if crews had been standing by, ready to treat those effected by the gas.

The person who made the decision not to release information on the type of gas used is certainly guilty of a crime.
