Israel intercepts W. Bank-bound truck loaded with explosive material
By Amos Harel, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: potassium nitrate 

Security forces last month intercepted a truck destined for the West Bank carrying hazardous material believed intended for assembling explosive devices, defense officials said.

The Israel Defense Forces, the civil administration in the West Bank, and the police combined to halt the truck as it approached the Green Line in the Qalqilyah region. The vehicle was found to be carrying cargo containing 800 kilograms of potassium nitrate.
