Semtex was first manufactured in the Ceskoslovenska Socialist Republic, a satellite nation of the USSR. Semtex was offered in bulk as military aid or sales to developing nations during the cold war. It become popular with "assymetric" combat forces and found it way into use in the Israeli Palestinian Conflict.

It is used by terrorists because of the relatovely hardness to detect it, so it goes easily unnoticed
