Russia – This story brought to mind the Beslan incident in which it was reported that terrorists stockpiled weapons in the floors and walls during construction of the school. There is no indication at this point however, why the weapons were there.

Law enforcement officers found a cache with firearms and explosives at a church being built in the town of Dzerzhinsk in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

“A bag containing a Vepr hunter carbine, a Baikal handgun and 100-gram TNT mine with an electric detonator was found under reinforced concrete slabs at the church construction site,” a source at law enforcement agencies told Interfax on Friday.

Efforts are being made to identify the owner of the weapons and explosives.
