http://www.dailynews-tsn.com/page.php?id=5092 More bombs seized in Dar BENJAMIN MGALULA Sunday News; Sunday,December 31, 2006 SIX more hand grenades were yesterday discovered in Dar es Salaam on the premises of M/S Steel Masters Limited Company along Mbozi Road in Temeke District, bringing the total haul to 57. The first three grenades were discovered last Wednesday after one of them exploded, killing one person instantly and injuring five others, two of them very severely--Shaban Ali and Salum Shekioni. Speaking on the new development, Dar es Salaam Special Zone Commissioner of Police, Mr Alfred Tibaigana, told reporters in Dar es Salaam that police were tipped by an informer about the bombs at the company. A joint team of experts from the Tanzania Peoples Defence Forces (TPDF) and police was immediately dispatched to the scene. Suspicious of the 'unusual metal', the firm's management had already set the bombs aside, when the experts arrived at the scene. The factory also buys metal scraps from the Lebanese company, Shahrour Enterprises, where the first bombs were discovered. Mr Tibaigana said there is a possibility of discovering more bombs since the actual number of bombs already scattered to various industries is yet to be known. Mr Tibaigana warned people not to touch anything unusual, calling on them to report suspicious objects to the police immediately. "We encourage all owners of metal scrap industries to report anything unusual." Preliminary investigations indicate that Shahrour Enterprises have been importing metal scraps from war-torn DRC. Most of the grenades are of Russian make. The discovery of a large number of bombs questions the capability of the intelligence and security organs at the borders. People interviewed by the 'Sunday News' yesterday called for strengthening of security at all border points. "If bombs can enter into the country so easily, what about illegal firearms or drugs?" questioned a trader who requested for anonymity. Mr Tibaigana also said that two separate teams of experts from various government departments are investigating the matter. In another development, Salum Othman (33), a resident of Vingunguti Mwembe Karata is recovering at the Muhimbili Orthopedic Institute from the wounds he sustained from a grenade explosion yesterday morning. Othman said he met his fate a few metres from his residence in Vingunguti at dawn, when he picked up a strange metal, thinking that it was a cellular phone. He is a tomato vendor. Othman has lost his left palm, two fingers of the other hand and has sustained injuries on the stomach.
