In light of Londanium's comments, I might be on the wrong track here.  Czech Republic manufactured an explosive called Semtex, which for many years did not have any chemical tags added so it was virtually undetectable (while being transported).

A lot of it was sold to Libya during the Communist era, when the Arab states were "friendlies".

I've heard of it. There's still rather a lot of it knocking around Ireland and the UK: the IRA got loads of it, and I don't believe much was actually used (relatively).
