👉 Bedroom missiles, also known as "bed bombs" or "bedstraws," are improvised explosive devices (IEDs) typically constructed within or near a sleeping person's bedroom. These devices are designed to detonate upon impact, often using readily available materials such as plastic bottles filled with explosives, wire, or other combustible substances. The primary intent is to inflict severe injury or death upon the unsuspecting victim while minimizing the risk of detection, making them a particularly insidious form of domestic terrorism. Their compact size and ease of concealment allow perpetrators to place them in strategic locations, such as under mattresses or within furniture, ensuring the victim is unaware until it's too late.
