Fears over WC2010: Police finds large explosives cache
JOHANNESBURG, Apr 30 2010 SAPA - South African police found nearly 3 tons (2.49 metric tons) of commercial explosives in a Johannesburg house. Lt-Col Lungelo Dlamini told the South African Press Association a woman, 18, and a man, 22, were arrested during Friday's raid after a tip-off. Police think the explosives were looted from a shipping container depot and would be used by a criminal syndicate to blow up cash machines.
The find in southern Johannesburg raises fears over the availability of commercial explosives ahead of the World Cup that starts in June. Hundreds of thousands of foreign visitors are expected. South Africa imports and also manufactures large quantities of explosives for its mining industry. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hL69BBYjZF8HMJDuopVat3bTxeQQD9FDC1SO1
