#1 he Director of the shipping company Unimarine Ltd Samsu Sheroff said about six hours after the ship had sailed, the vessel encountered a very choppy sea and the master of the ship reported that one of the containers in the deck been loosened and might fall in the sea...

When the ship was asked on December 24 to return to Indian territory, the master turned around to come to Mumbai and "in the bargain other five containers on board were lost....

BS.

#2 India shipping explosives to the mouth of the Persian Gulf and then through Iran. 100 tonnes missing aside, is this a good idea? Does Afghanistan need level highways bad enough to justify this?

#3 I'm wondering if they could not buy the explosives from Iran..

Granted it is Indian foreign aid and local suppliers will be used but this is rather sensitive cargo to be shipping like this...
