 Last week's blasts at the Malhazine armoury in Mozambique were due to a robbery that went wrong, military sources told an independent newspaper on Monday. In its Monday edition, Tribuna Fax, quoting anonymous military sources, said the blasts came after officials, who were stealing mercury by draining it from some of the containers, failed to tightly close the containers, Vista News reported. "These acts are well known by authorities at the armoury, who never took any action," the source told the paper. "If thorough investigations are going to be made it will be discovered that this act of robbing mercury involves army engineers who know very well how to deactivate these arms." |
