Bag with explosive and detonators found in a building site in Beslan

In the city of Beslan, North Ossetia, militiamen have found a package with ammunition and explosive. This was reported by local law enforcement bodies.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that just several days ago, on September 7, a bomb was neutralized in the capital of North Ossetia; it was detected under a bridge in Vladikavkaz. However then, the MIA said that the substance they destroyed for safety was not a bomb.

According to a source from law enforcement bodies, yesterday, on September 10, MIA employees found, in a building site, a polyethylene bag among garbage. It contained 1079 cartridges of different calibres, a 200-gram trotyl block, 100 grams of ammonite, 100 grams of plastic explosive and two electric detonators.

After this incident a criminal case was opened on Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Illegal purchase and storage of arms"), writes the "Interfax".
