"The explosives appear to be of military origin, which is very worrying," said Christophe Chaboud, head of the French Anti-Terrorism Coordination Unit and one of five top officials sent by Paris to London immediately after Thursday's attacks.
"We're more used to cells making home-made explosives with chemicals. How did they get them?" he said in an interview with Le Monde newspaper.
"Either by trafficking, for example, in the Balkans, or they had someone on the inside who enabled them to get them out of a military establishment."
a senior London police spokesman said the explosives were still being examined and there was no confirmation that they were military in origin.

I never suggested that this counts out Al Qaeda, I assume they could very well get these weapons, but how? Could these weapons be traced back to the original owners/producers. how did they change hands?
New answers beget new questions.
Just trying to keep people awake.

Can you provide any links that prove this or at least back it up, as it is quite a heavy statement to make without any backup?

Would the military use this material??
If so. Then it could very well be the people who stole the explosives.
Who are most likely suspects in stealing this stuff??
