Explosive Terror

The mysterious disappearance of explosive cargo from a ship leaving from Mumbai is alarming. The security personnel should investigate the case with due seriousness, weighing such pros and cons as the genuineness of the consignment supposedly meant for road construction in Afghanistan. The claim by the ship's spokesperson that the entire load of explosives had to be dumped into the sea for smooth sailing of the ship has to cross-checked. It would be a cause for great alarm if the explosives fall into the hands of terrorists, who are already very much a menace in different parts of the world including India.
