Nato seizes bomb-making materials
Updated on 11 November 2009
International troops and Afghan police have seized 250 tons of ammonium nitrate fertiliser - enough to make hundreds of roadside bombs.
Separately, video footage emerged yesterday of insurgents brandishing what appears to be limited stocks of US ammunition in a remote area of eastern Afghanistan where eight Americans died in a battle last month.
Sunday's raids in the southern city of Kandahar appeared to net one of the largest hauls of the war. Nato officials hoped the fertiliser seizure would hurt Taliban militants, whose home-made bombs have become the biggest killer of US and allied troops.
