MAKHACHKALA, September 6 (RIA Novosti) - Police in Daghestan have discovered an underground explosives workshop in a residential home in the Khasavyurt district, in northern Daghestan, a source in the republic's Interior Ministry said.

Investigators and sappers discovered six improvised explosive devices, made from 50-kilogram (100-pound) metal barrels packed with explosives and shrapnel, 120 kilograms (240 pounds) of ammonium nitrate, 38 detonators, an RPG-26 rocket launcher and ammunition.

The barrels were removed and destroyed.
