He's saying it's military GRADE explosives, not that it's military explosives.
Christophe Chaboud, the head of the French Anti-Terrorism Co-ordination Unit, said the explosives could have come from the Balkans or may have been sourced from a military establishment by someone on the inside.
"The explosives appear to be of military origin, which is very worrying."
All four attackers - not confirmed to be suicide bombers - are thought to have died in the blasts.
police evacuated Luton railway station and car park to recover a vehicle suspected of being linked with the terrorist attacks.
The car was blown up in two controlled explosions

Of course theres TWO explosions
1 - for the cameras and the press and
2 - to destroy the evidence !!!!
Here you have a near perfect crime with all the responsables dead and the destruction of evidence happening on national television infront of the whole world, so nobodys going to squeal because nobody who touched the bombs are alive to tell the tale.
And the real responsables are imune from whatever prosecution because nobody knows who they are, they´re the grey suits in the halls of Whitehall who walk between the raindrops and never get wet.
Just a theory but what if the bomber or bombers where given the bombs by a third party (operative of said GREY SuITS).
The third party says, "dont you worry, the bombs are prepared to detonate at 09.00am, you´ll have plenty of time to escape you just carry it and leave it on the bus/metro with five minutes to spare o.k"
But really the clocks set for 08.50 and the idiot whos the donkey doesnt know and now cant complain because the moron was in the epicentre of the blast and all they have is a head.!!
Like Joe Pesci said in the pelicula JFK - "Its a mystery wrapped inside a riddle inside an enigma, even the shooters dont know whos puling the trigger".

Military inadequacy?
or
Shady conspiracy?

Ti think its neither. The weapons could've been bought on the underground arms market.
A SINGLE bombmaker using high-grade military explosives is believed to be responsible for building the four devices that killed more than 50 people last week, The Times can reveal.
Similar components from the explosive devices have been found at all four murder sites, leading detectives to believe that each of the 10lb rucksack bombs was the work of one man. They also believe that the materials used were not home made but sophisticated military explosives, possibly smuggled into Britain from the Balkans.....
The public anger will strengthen Tony Blair’s hand as he prepares to speed up new anti-terrorist laws to help the hunt for the bombers. “If, as the fuller picture about these incidents emerges and the investigation proceeds, it becomes clear that there are powers which the police and intelligence agencies need immediately to combat terrorism, it is plainly sensible to reserve the right to return to Parliament with an accelerated timetable,” he said.

I never said more likely, I said it will fit the theory.
would this not then fall under military incontinence, IF they are of "military origin"
Don't get me wrong I don't perscribe to any theory yet, it is to early, but I have a few questions that I think deserve answers.
On BBC Newsnight just now - the explosive was accetone peroxide (home-made not military spec!) hence the security cordon in Yorkshire, it's highly volatile - seems they didn't care about their neighbours either.

From CTID56092,
the house in Leeds was a bomb factory.
Meantime, the BBC, citing sources close to the investigation, said the explosive used was the highly unstable TATP (triacetone triperoxide), made from freely available ingredients.
It said the explosives, found in raids in the city of Leeds, are thought to be similar to materials used by British “shoe bomber” Richard Reid who tried to blow up a transatlantic flight in 2001 with explosives concealed in his shoes.
