Explosive material found inside a Phoenix apartment during a narcotics search was determined to be the same highly unstable substance widely used by suicide bombers.
Authorities do not know how William Ronald Roberts, 38, obtained a pound of triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, but said there is no indication that he is affiliated with any terrorist organizations.
Department of Public Safety officers went to Roberts’ apartment near 16th Street and Highland on a narcotics tip Wednesday. The officers, who were acting under the Maricopa County HIDTA task force, found personal amounts of marijuana, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in the front of the home.
