The FC official said senior police and security officers were interrogating the former Nazim for allegedly possessing kabooms.

He said Mir Maqbool Ahmed Lehri was the owner of the warehouse where forces had recovered 100 tons of kabooms from on Tuesday.

The FC had foiled a major bid of terrorism by seizing 104,480 kilogram of explosives and arresting ten suspected myrmidons.

"For the first time such huge quantity of kaboom has been seized in the history of country," FC commandant Colonel Maqbool Ahmed said.

Another paramilitary official earlier on Wednesday said that the warehouse where troops confiscated more than 100 tons of chemicals had been used in recent attacks on troops and minority Shia Moslems.
