Hong Kong police say they defused two large homemade bombs packed with nails and designed 'to kill and to maim people.'

Hong Kong's much-maligned police force provided a rare behind-the-scenes look Friday at its bomb disposal squad to show the potentially deadly destructive force of homemade explosives seized during months of protests that have shaken the Chinese territory.
Police said the bombs found Monday evening inside a high school on Hong Kong Island were “complete, fully functional and ready to be used.” Police said the bombs were radio-controlled, to be triggered with mobile phones. They contained 10 kilograms of high explosives and shrapnel that would inflict injury. Their blast could have been felt over a distance of 100 meters or more, police said.
