It's a slang term, and I'm using the information that's available to me... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov_cocktail
In any event, the intent (if not end result) was to destroy the cruiser by fire. So...

So no, it's not much different imo. > A Molotov cocktail is an improvised explosive device. > I know, having been in a humvee hit by one before. > When the bottle breaks the fuel, and often some additives > like powdered soap > to make it stick, explosively spreads and almost instantly > catches fire. > Tanks were taken down with cocktails during the second > world war, and during > various soviet occupations in eastern Europe. s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:203003 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
