| Restrictions on Sale of Bomb-Making Chemicals Declared |
| 2007-05-01 |
| Saudi Arabia yesterday issued new regulations curbing the sale of industrial and agricultural chemicals that can be used to make explosives. The move comes days after the arrest of 172 terror suspects planning to carry out attacks on oil facilities, military bases and public figures. The decision that bans the sale of various nitrate compounds in the solid form for three years was taken by the weekly Cabinet meeting, chaired by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah. Farmers are allowed to use only liquid chemicals as fertilizers. “The Cabinet banned the use of ammonium, calcium, potassium and magnesium nitrates as well as their byproducts in solid/granule/powder forms for three years for agricultural purposes,” the Saudi Press Agency said, quoting a Cabinet decision. |
