The first ever time in history microchips were used in making bombs.
The microchip used in 21 Bombs recovered in surat is

PIC16F628A

According to them this is a chip from microsoft [ lol ]
This information was leaked by a local news channel EYE WITNESS, surat.
They say the failure was due to some decoding / encoding error.

Source : Channel EYE WITNESS, surat.

Internet is full of information about this chip, lots of info is available for programing chip .i dont understand all this technical info. *www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1335&dDocName=en010210

Friends, it is the channels name that contains word "witness"

"Channel Eye Witness " it is a local surat channel.

They splashed this news like a big breaking news.
