petrol bombs
Improvised incendiary weapons
A petrol bomb is an improvised incendiary weapon—a bottle filled with flammable liquid (typically petrol/gasoline) with a wick that's lit before throwing.
The bottle shatters on impact, spreading burning fuel.
Also called a Molotov cocktail.
Associated with riots, protests, and guerrilla warfare: Protesters hurled petrol bombs at police lines.
