Turkey travel

In an example of how quickly technology travels from one terrorist group to another, the attacks in Casablanca, Morocco, in May of 2003 utilized a TATP formulation first seen a couple years earlier in Palestinian attacks in Israel. TATP has also become one of the main charges utilized by Communist terrorist groups in Turkey over the last couple of years. TATP charges ranging from 1 to 20 lb are not uncommon. 

The Greek philosopher who started this transformation was Thales of Miletus. Information about him is limited, and what we know comes to us from later writers, since no texts by him have survived. He was probably born about 623 b.c.e., in Ionia, which is in modem Turkey. Thales was believed to have traveled widely and likely visited Egypt and studied in Greece. He conceived of the world as a sphere floating in an eternal sea and argued that water was the most fundamental element. It came in three forms water, earth, and mist. This was an important philosophical insight, since it demonstrated an understanding of the states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas, in modem terms) in addition to different types of matter.
