Turkey seizes weapons in Syria-bound container from Iran

Turkish authorities seized weapons hidden among construction materials on a Syria-bound train from Iran after Kurdish guerrillas bombed and derailed the train, according to a government official and news reports

Wednesday.

The official, speaking Wednesday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said the cargo included machine guns and pistols. The private Dogan news agency said it included a rocket launch pad and 300 rockets as well as other weapons and ammunition. (AP)
