Multiple people who I trust in their knowledge of explosives have postulated that it could very likely have been gunpowder. The flash and burn seen in pictures was more consistent with a conflagration than a true high explosives explosion. Gunpowder only explodes under certain pressure situations, and the description of the bombs so far is more consistent with a conflagration vs. an explosion.
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
