Several tons of bomb-making chemical seized at Afghan-Pakistan border

Afghan authorities intercepted nearly 11 tons of a bomb-making chemical hidden on a truck trying to cross the border from Pakistan Tuesday, while a nearby suicide car bombing killed 11 people.

The 10.7 tons of ammonium nitrate – a key ingredient in the Taliban’s roadside bombs that have killed thousands of soldiers and civilians – were found hidden in a fruit truck, Stars and Stripes reported.

Two suspects in the truck were arrested. Ammonium nitrate is also commonly used as a fertilizer in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It could have also been for just fertilizer.
