A Defence Ministry spokesman said acting on a tip-off, army troops intercepted a truck loaded with sheep while it was on its <b>way to Srinagar from Delhi</b>.

Spokesman further said, Army's intelligence unit had specific information that a truck bearing registration number JK02T/9845 was to cross Batote at around 0900 hours on way to Srinagar.
The Army sleuths kept in waiting and as the truck was seen, halted it and a thorough search led to recovery of 100 kg of deadly RDX which could have wreaked havoc.
<b>The driver of the truck Bahar Ahmed Malik, son of Ahmedullah Malik and the co-driver Mohd Iqbal, son of Ghulam Nabi, both residents of Banihal, on interrogation revealed that the an agent in Delhi named Mulla had asked them to deliver the consignment in four Ghee tins to one Ghulam Ahmed Rather of Qazigund</b>.
The RDX was being transported in a vehicle carrying cattle. Two more persons in the truck alongwith driver and co-driver were handed over to police for further interrogation.
<b>Spokesman further said, the seized RDX had an inflammability of 9000 metres per second and had it been used, would have caused massive destruction</b>.
Security forces also defused two Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) planted by militants at Batote, about 130 km from here on the Jammu-Srinagar stretch of the national highway.
A Defence Ministry spokesman said an army patrol came across two IEDs, weighing five kilograms each at Batote.
He said both the IEDs were later defused by the bomb disposal squad of the army.
He further said, a major attempt of terrorists to strike the vital road link to Srinagar was foiled with the timely detection.
<b>He added, two Improvised Explosive Devices on NH 1A, one each at KM 129.7 and KM 134, seven km north of Batote, containing explosive material of approximately 5 kg each at 0915 hours and 1110 hours </b>respectively were recovered by the Road Opening Parties (ROPs).
He said, the ROPs while on patrol came across the two improvised explosive devices and immediately the Bombs Disposal Squad swung into action alongwith the sniffer dogs to neutralise the IEDs, which were subsequently destroyed at a deserted place.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
