Explosives Stolen From Research Facility In US - Report

NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confirmed Monday that about 400 pounds of explosive material had been stolen from a Cherry Engineering research facility in New Mexico, ABC News reported on its Web site.

The news report also said 2,500 detonators were missing from a Cherry storage explosive container.

The theft was discovered Sunday night, ABC News said, and it is unknown whether there is any connection to terrorism. The ATF is investigating.

The missing material included 150 pounds of the plastic explosive compound C-4 and 250 pounds of undetectable "sheet explosives" - a DuPont flexible explosive material that can be hidden in books and letters - as well as blasting caps, the news report said.

A blasting cap is a small explosive device generally used to trigger a larger, more powerful explosive such as dynamite.

Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confirmed today they are investigating the large theft from Cherry Engineering, a company owned by Chris Cherry, a scientist at Sandia National Labs.

The theft was discovered Sunday night by local authorities. The thieves used blowtorches to cut through thick steel walls at the bunker, authorities told ABC News.

The missing 400 pounds of explosives includes 150 pounds of what is known as C-4 plastic, or "sheet explosive," which can be shaped and molded and is often used by terrorists and military operatives.

"It is a very dangerous material, we want to keep this off the streets," Cherry told ABC News.
Also, 2,500 detonators were missing from a storage explosive container, or magazine, in a bunker owned by Cherry Engineering.
Authorities have no leads in the theft and said there is no indication terrorism is involved.

The theft is one of the largest reported cases from a facility in the United States in the last decade ending 2004. During that time, a total of about 1,000 pounds was reported stolen from government facilities in 14 reported incidents. It is unknown whether there is any connection to terrorism.

A special agent at ATF said the incident was unusual because such high-powered material was targeted.
The missing material could potentially make numerous bombs.

Holy Shit!!

Who is Cherry Engineering??

n/t

The FBI would have been on them from day one.

Terrorists--who cares.

but let this batch of undetectable explosives get stolen.
