Turks stop suspicious Iran cargo for Venezuela

A Turkish customs official says a suspicious Iranian shipment bound for Venezuela contains laboratory equipment capable of producing explosives and is being held at a Mediterranean port. Mersin customs official Süleyman Tosun said military experts have been asked to examine the material seized last month and decide whether to let the shipment proceed. Tosun said authorities detected the equipment during a search of 22 containers labeled as "tractor parts." They were brought to Mersin by trucks from Iran.
