Explosive device found in car at US-Canada border
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
BLAINE, Washington


An improvised explosive device and four handguns were found in a car, after Canadian officials at a border crossing became suspicious of the driver, authorities said Wednesday.

The bomb and firearms were found in the car, just after it had passed through the Peace Arch border crossing at about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a statement. The explosive device was found in the engine compartment, officials said.

Interstate 5 in the United States and Highway 99 in Canada were closed at the crossing - the busiest between the two countries west of Detroit, Michigan.

Officials discovered the weapons and bomb after becoming suspicious of car, occupied only by the driver, a man acting erratically, said Paula Shore, spokeswoman for the Canada Border Services Agency. The Mounties' explosives squad was summoned, she said.

Re: I guess the Israelis represent the state of the art in this leading edge "technology", and have the experience to boot.

Building Fences -- And Growing Closer
From security to information technology, business ties between India and Israel are proliferating


The disputed state of Kashmir couldn't look less like the narrow strip of desert that forms most of Israel. Peaks in the territory rise to more than 8,500 meters, and the area is known for its lush valleys and remote Himalayan beauty. Israel's Magal Security Systems Ltd., though, feels right at home in the thin mountain air.

The company(*), best known for its role in building a security fence dividing Israel from the West Bank, is providing technology such as cameras and motion detectors for a similar barrier in Kashmir. The 150-kilometer fence is aimed at keeping terrorists from crossing the Line of Control, the de facto border between the Indian- and Pakistani-administered portions of Kashmir. So far, Magal's technology has been deployed on just 5.5 km of the project, but the company is aiming to get a much bigger share of the barrier being built along the 740-km border. "India is a great market for Israeli companies," says Magal's president, Izhar Dekel.
