Powerful anti-tank mines used by British troops in Afghanistan are stolen from goods train

A shipment of powerful anti-tank mines have been stolen from a goods train.
Thieves are thought to have snatched the mines, used by British troops in Afghanistan, when the train was forced to stop because of a body on the track.
The munitions were discovered missing when the train pulled into a station 90 miles further down the line.

(continued, if discarded may be hazardous to walkers or their dogs?)

They can be used to crack buildings for quick entry. Smash and grab on a grand scale.

'Kin Heeeeeeeeelllllll !!!

They kept that quiet. And I don't believe the bollocks about it being difficult letting them off.
Each one has 19 POUNDS of explosive. How the fuck can that travel unlocked and insecure?

Someone's for the high-jump there, or should be.

Absolutely. Such cargo should only be transported under heavy guard. I wonder if "outsourcing" is partly to blame?

Good thing they didn't take off with the plutonium in the other G4S wagon?

We used one of those to permanently disable a M113. The engine block went three feet into the ground I'm told. I wasn't hanging around to find out, there were some rowdy types that objected to us not leaving them some goodies.

Somebody's going to have a doozy of a Guy Fawkes party....

Remember, remember the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot
I see of no reason why
the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot.

MEN of the Western World!
-Wordsworth
MEN of the Western World!
in Fate's dark book
Whence these opprobrious leaves of dire portent?
Think ye your British Ancestors forsook
Their native Land, for outrage provident;
From unsubmissive necks the bridle shook
To give, in their Descendants, freer vent
And wider range to passions turbulent,
To mutual tyranny a deadlier look?
Nay, said a voice, soft as the south wind's breath,
Dive through the stormy surface of the flood
To the great current flowing underneath;
Explore the countless springs of silent good;
So shall the truth be better understood,
And thy grieved Spirit brighten strong in faith.


It'll make great telly?

I take it anti-tank mines are still legal, I know anti-personally were banned international in civilized countries anyway

Fireworks seem to be used a few weeks before and after Nov 5th here. Poor pooches hate it! How does Feck cope with them?
