  Explosive belt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An explosive belt (also called suicide belt, suicide vest or shaheed belt) is a vest packed with explosives and armed with a detonator, worn by suicide bombers.
Explosive belts are usually packed with nails, screws, bolts, and other objects that serve as shrapnel to maximize the number of casualties in the explosion.
Explosive belts were introduced by the Tamil Tiger group in Sri Lanka.

 Belt (clothing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A belt is a flexible band, made of either leather or a type of heavy cloth, worn around the waist.
At one end of the belt is a belt buckle that is fashioned onto the other end of the belt.
Since belts must be drawn tightly around the waist in order to hold up the pants, they may be less comfortable than suspenders, which allow trousers to hang loosely about the body.

 SITE Institute: SITE Publications - Manufacture of the Explosive Belt for Suicide Operations
The highly detailed video, of high quality and polished presentation, proceeds in several sections: required materials (explosives, shrapnel, triggers, vest); assembly instructions; instructions for mounting the belt on the body of the would-be suicide bomber; and testing of the belt’s destructive impact.
For instance, in describing suitable explosive materials, the video specifies acceptable dimensions for each and warns that “[t]here are some explosive materials that do not explode in case their thickness goes below a certain limit.
Finally, it what is perhaps the video’s most chilling sequence, a testing ground for the explosive belt is used, complete with mock victims arranged in a pattern mimicking a crowded bus, and (separately) with victims arrayed at varying removes from the explosion in order to gauge the lethality of the explosive impact at different distances.
