Indonesian police find haul of explosives
Police in Indonesia have confiscated two tonnes of explosive raw material, three hand
grenades and one handgun in separate locations in East Kalimantan province.
Police say they found 56 sacks of ammonia nitrate, a chemical used in bomb making,
in a warehouse near the town of Tarakan.
Ammonia nitrate is often illegally employed to blast rivers and open waters in
so-called fish bombing.
The discovery of the explosives comes just days after one woman was killed and
three others injured after a bomb exploded on a road in Central Sulawesi.
