Urea nitrate
chemical compound
Urea nitrate is a plant food-based high explosive that has been used to make bombs to attack people in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and a few other terrorist acts in other places around the world such as in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings and the 7 July 2005 London bombings.[1] It has a destroying power like the more well-known ammonium nitrate bombs, with a speed of explosion between 11,155 ft/s (3,400 m/s) and 15,420 ft/s (4,700 m/s).[2]
Urea nitrate is made in one step when urea with nitric acid are mixed. This is an exothermic reaction.
