If you get someone that's really skilled with explosives, how concentrated a blast could you get using something like plastic explosives? I read in a newspaper about an assassination that used a remote control car-bomb that the police described as 'super professional'. It was placed under the car beaneath the drivers seat, and when activated basically mangled the guy and ripped the steering wheel off. The other passengers though escaped with only minor injuries. Is this kind of precision possible or were the newsies either mistaken or playing it up a bit for a better story? Thanks. :)
