We are never told if witches and wizards are burned at the stake, 
are we?  Well, if muggles tried to capture a wizard or witch, do you 
think the witch or wizard would allow it?  Isn't a witch or wizard 
easily able to over power a muggle?  The ones burned at the stake 
during the witch trials were only accused of witchcraft or wizardry, 
not neccessarily real witches or wizards, probably just muggles in 
the wrong place at the wrong time. A WW witch or wizard would 
probably just disapparate or work a memory charm on the offending 
muggles (or any other type of spell)to effect their escape. What I 
am saying is, if the bomb was wizard in nature then yes, if it was 
muggle in nature then no.  Muggle technologies seem to malfunction 
in the WW.  Even the criminals of the WW are impossible for the 
muggles to catch, hence the need for aurors. Laws of physics need 
not apply, seems most of the items in the WW are "physically 
impossible" anyways.
