Explosives used in the truck bombing of U.N. headquarters in Iraq were similar to those used by Saddam Hussein's armed forces, said the FBI, which was also testing human remains found today around the blast site. "This was not a homemade bomb," said Agent Tom Fuentes, leader of the FBI probe into Tuesday's attack. Agent Tom Fuentes -- leader of the FBI probe into Tuesday's attack -- said investigators discovered the remains while searching a crater made by the explosion. Investigators also took chemical samples and retrieved vehicle parts in the crater, Fuentes said. "We're not certain yet whether the human remains belong to the driver of the truck," Fuentes told CNN. He said components in the truck will be analyzed to determine whether the human remains match other human remains that were found in the vehicle. Officials have not determined conclusively that the bombing was a suicide attack. Fuentes also said pieces of items manufactured in the "Soviet-era" were found among the blast debris -- fragments from mortars, artillery shells, grenades and a 500-pound bomb.
