South African coup plot arms found

South African police today unearthed a large arms cache on a farm in the north of the country, believed to belong to a right wing group plotting to overthrow the government.

The cache, buried near the town of Nylstroom, 125 miles north of Johannesburg, included 16 powerful home-made bombs, thousands of rounds of ammunition and dozens of home-made hand grenades, said Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi.
