| Indonesian police in East Kalimantan have arrested four people with hundreds of kilos of ammonium nitrate and detonators, local media reports said Saturday. One man and three women were arrested in the provincial capital of Balikpapan on Friday with 375 kilos of the powerful explosive, which was allegedly purchased in Tawau, Malaysia before being brought to nearby Kalimantan by sea, authorities said. The explosives, along with detonators and 1,000 metres of cable cut into 50-metre pieces, were allegedly destined for Pare-Pare, a town in South Sulawesi. |
