defuse or detonate explosives the suspect set inside. through the window of his third floor apartment, they can see a web of trip wires, and a living room full of about 30 homemade ieds strung together with firecracker shells. there are also jars of black powder and liquid accelerant, cans of gasoline, too. at 10:33 a.m. progress. we have been successful in defeating the first threat, which includes defeating the trip wire and the first incendiary device. reporter: a robot driven by a bomb technician does the dangerous work humans can t spraying water on the control box in the kitchen wired to the ieds disabling explosives while preserving evidence. this apartment was designed, i say, based on everything i have seen, to kill whoever entered it. and if you think we re angry, we sure as hell are angry. reporter: a couple hours later, just before noon, firemen shout fire in the hole, and then at 12:08 p.m. confirmation the most serious threat is over. we have been su
