Theft sparks Australia bomb alert
2004-04-10
Australian anti-terror police are hunting for 3.5 tons of fertiliser stolen from a warehouse in the southern city of Adelaide. There are fears the missing ammonium nitrate fertiliser could be used to build a bomb. Reports of the theft coincide with a government admission that huge amounts of explosives and ammunition had been stolen from the military since 2001.
Not good news for our allies. Let’s hope they recover this material quickly.
