ISTANBUL, July 30 (AFP) - Turkish paramilitary police seized Friday about 100 kilos of plastic C4 explosive, 10,000 rounds of ammunition for Kalashnikov rifles and detonators from a truck crossing into Turkey from Iraq, local authorities said.
The office of the governor of the province of Sirnak in southeast Turkey said the material was found hidden in different parts of the truck when it underwent a routine inspection at the border post at Habur.
The truck-driver, a Turkish citizen from the Sirnak region, is being held for questioning.
