Yesterday the Israeli announced that the IDF and Shin Bet had found “6.5 tons of potassium nitrate hidden in sacks that were disguised as aid from the European Union”.
Potassium nitrate? Saltpetre? People are making explosives out of black gunpowder?
Sheesh, you’d think they would have caught up with the IRA by now and be using ammonium nitrate and derv by now, wouldn’t you?

Used in the production of salt beef, so there may be local factors involved.

From reading the articles, it was in sacks that said it was sugar. So there is an element of deception here.
Black powder goes boom easier than anfo just need more of it.
