Terror bid foiled: Huge cache of explosives recovered in Islamabad

Police believes that terrorists were using the car for transporting the explosives.

ISLAMABAD: Police have seized a heavy cache of explosives from a car on Simli Dam Road, in Islamabad early on Saturday, the Express News reported.

According to the report, police recovered between 70-100 kg explosives from a Suzuki Alto in the Bara kahu area in Islamabad.

Sources in the police said explosives were concealed in the gas cylinder and secret compartments of the car.

Police cordoned off the area and the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) was been called.
