Large amounts of trotyl, a dangerous explosive substance, have been discovered in front of the block of flats where Penko Atanasov, a lawmaker from the oppositional left-wing Bulgarian Socialist Party, lives.
On Thursday, Atanasov spotted a suspicious package in front of the block of flats he lives in in Sofia and contacted police authorities. Upon arriving, the police officers discovered several packages containing a total of 8 kg of trotyl, an amount that would be sufficient for a massive blast, the local Darik radio informs.
No ready-made bombs have been found at the place.
