A suitcase bomb is equipped with a trigger system based on the Nokia 105 mobile phone—the preferred device used by non-state actors in Iraq and Syria during the 2010s. When the phone number is dialed, the bomb detonates: a 1:1 scale inflatable replica of the Fat Man bomb—the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, whose design has become—uncannily—iconic.
