RDX Explosive, From Iran to Syria With Love

Italian police have seized seven tons of the powerful RDX explosive which they found in a shipping container onboard a cargo ship named "Finland" belonging to the Swiss-Italian MSC shipping company and sailing under a Liberian flag  -- believed to be in transport from Iran to Syria.  (ABC)

The bricks of military explosive, also known at T4, were found hidden behind sacks of powdered milk, and filled a good portion of the truck-sized container.   [snip]

The "Finland" unloaded a group of containers in the port of Gioia Tauro that were to be sorted for other destinations in the Mediterranean, including one container which was supposed to be filled with powerded milk.
