Boom caches recovered in Chechnya
Several powerful homemade explosive devices were found in various parts of Chechnya during the past 24 hours. A homemade bomb consisting of two large-calibre shells, a jet engine and a projectile for a Grad complex was found on the outskirts of Urus-Martan, a representative of the provisional press centre of the Russian Interior Ministry in the Northern Caucasus told Itar-Tass on Wednesday. An explosive device ready for use was found in a secret place on the outskirts of the village of Chiri-Yurt. Six mortar shells, three grenade launchers and a flame-thrower were also found there. The third explosive device, made of six TNT blasting cartridges with a total weight of 1.2 kilograms, as well as other ammunition, were found in a garage, situated in one of the districts of the Chechen capital, during an engineering reconnaissance operation. The police are looking for the people involved in the manufacturing of those explosive devices.Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-02-05 |
