Somalia's spy agency says it has seized 79 tons of sulphuric acid smuggled into the country for use by al-Shabab militants to make explosives. ‘We have arrested a number of people who smuggled it into the country and were transporting it to al-Shabab mafia,’ the National Intelligence and Security Agency said in a statement. BBC News reports that it said investigations were ongoing and the suspects would be arraigned later in court.
