Nato seize bomb-making materials in Afghanistan
International troops and Afghan police seized 250 tons of ammonium nitrate fertiliser – enough to make hundreds of roadside bombs, the Taliban’s most lethal weapon in what has been the deadliest year of the war.
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.
