The procedures of bomb scene investigation start with the collection of fragments left on the crime scene. Looking for an explosive device is a tedious job some of the fragments you might want to look for are piping, cables, blasting caps, wads such as C4, dynamite, and TNT. In some cases, you may find gunpowder as an igniter for bombs.An explosion or point of impact will most commonly be in the area that has the most destruction. You will find a black bang residue on the ground that leaves a clear open area where the exploding device, bomb or peripheral was placed. Finding residue is important to solving the case because once the fragments and residue are found you can analyze what type of explosive device the asylum used.Military weapons of mass destruction can be mortar rounds, sheet explosives, 40mm rounds with white phosphorous, and other remote and timing devices found on the scene. Try to identify the Military round by its Nomenclature and DODIC (Department of Defense Identification Code). The DODIC may be present on the fragments and able to be traced to a weapon.
