ARKANSAS — Auctioneers preparing for a backyard estate sale made an explosive discovery among the china and other items up for bid — a suitcase full of military-grade explosives. The rusted, padlocked suitcase sat alongside a porcelain coffee service set, decorative enamel-finished eggs and a vintage gas-powered model of the 1965 Chaparral II race car prototype. Auctioneers got the suitcase open just before the sale and found three blocks of military-grade C-4 plastic explosive, two tubes of a similar plastic explosive, a blasting cap and some dynamite. Workers quickly called 911. The fire department's bomb squad put the aging explosives inside a special container and drove them out to an isolated spot to destroy them. The auction went on as planned. |
