Sticky bomb casings were a component used by the Ottoman Assassins to craft bombs which, thanks to its resin coating, could stick to any surface. As a finished bomb was armed with a 5-second fuse, they were best used to eliminate or isolate specific targets, or could be attached to an individual who was heading in the direction of the intended target.[1]
