Five tons of explosives seized in Falluja
2011-04-15
BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: A police force seized five tons of explosives in the city of al-Falluja on Thursday, according to a statement by the Iraqi interior ministry.

“The explosives were found in a cache during a search raid in the area of al-Hai al-Sinai’e, eastern Falluja,” read the statement that was received by Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

“The cache contained large amounts of C4 explosives, 30 kegs of TNT and other substances used in explosions,” it added.

Falluja,
The 'City of Mosques', not 'the Garden on the Tigris'...
the largest city in the predominantly Sunni province of al-Anbar, lies 45 km west of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

#2  FIVE TONS!!!

Criminey that's a big kaboom.

Where do they keep getting this crap...oh THAT'S a stupid question. Are the instructions in Farsi?

Given as how 1 pound can cause a lot of damage and a 200 pound car bomb can knock down a building or a neighborhood, five tons is a serious problem. that's about 50 car bombs or 10,000 suicide jackets.

Maybe they should just detonate that stuff in place and leave a message for that rotten pesthole of hate and murder.

#1  The C4 is just for cooking meals and the TNT is for building roads. No ill intentions here, certainly.
