Belarus authorities have confiscated explosive materials sent into the country, which were enough to blow up several passenger trains during the May 9 Victory Day celebrations. Vladimir Atrashkov, Chief of the Central Office for Special Expert Evaluations of the State Forensic Examination Committee of Belarus, said that the explosive can be classified as plastic explosive C4 of American make. C4 is often used for carrying out terrorist attacks.
Several mail parcels full of explosives were delivered to Belarus. The explosives were disguised as household appliances. Electric detonators were also seized. On the whole, the materials could be used to assemble several explosive devices.
According to Belarus TV network ONT, four young people have been arrested and are making their confessions. They were acquainted with another Belarusian citizen, who is now in Kiev. That individual was given a mission by the Central Intelligence Office of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry and found people to carry out this mission in Belarus.
