Explosive material seized in Indonesia

Indonesian police have found 250 kilograms of ammonium nitrate - the same material used in the Bali bombings - in Central Sulawesi.

The load of fertiliser chemical was seized from a car as the world's largest Muslim nation stepped up security over fears of a repeat of the Christmas Eve church bombings two years ago, in which 19 people were killed.

Police say the fertiliser is usually used in the province as a material to make bombs to catch fish.

But they say the unusually large amount seized has prompted authorities to conduct further investigations.

A police spokesman says the driver of the car in which the fertiliser was found has been arrested, but no further details are available.
