Montreal police sieze firearms and stash of explosives
MONTREAL (AFP) Aug 25, 2004
 Police in Montreal were Wednesday trying to trace the origin of 150 kilogrammes (330 pounds) of explosives and detonators and 17 firearms found stashed in a van parked in the city centre.

A police spokeswoman said officers were tipped off about the haul before pouncing on the van on Tuesday, but declined to provide further details on the vehicle or its intended destination.

"By Montreal standards this is an important seizure," said spokeswoman Lynne Labelle, adding that tests were being carried out on the markings on the guns to establish their origin.
