...blue-collar district of Gungoren show two young men placing two white plastic bags into a garbage bin on a street corner. After the first bomb exploded with deafening reverb, people rushed to the scene; it was then that a second bomb - packed with nails, bits of metal and TNT - went off.

The challenge for a defense during this 20-minute midcourse flight is to pick the RVs out of this debris and disable them. Infrared sensors are ineffective at this stage, so recent research has concentrated...
