Florida authorities reportedly recovered explosive materials called the "Mother of Satan" by terrorist groups like al Qaeda from the home of a man who said he was trying to make fireworks.
The explosive chemical, triacetone triperoxide, played a role in the 2017 Manchester bombing and 2015 Paris attacks, Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood told NBC News Tuesday night.
"It’s so volatile, so dangerous that al Qaeda calls it the 'Mother of Satan,' ” Chitwood said.

TATP has no application in fireworks but it is useful for bringing down passenger aircraft. It's ease of production in an airplane rest room is the reason why DHS tightened up the regs on what amount of liquids you can carry through airport security.
