The Georgian Security Service has detained two Ukrainian citizens for attempting to smuggle 2.4 kg of the hexogen explosive into the country from Turkey, Georgian media outlet Interpress reported on Thursday.
The explosive was hidden in secret compartments in the detainees' car, Interpress reported, saying that the arrests had occurred on Wednesday.
The Security Service did not disclose the names of the detainees, giving only their initials.
Georgian investigators were trying to establish "whether a terrorist attack was being prepared in Georgia or whether Georgia was a transit country," Interpress reported.
In July, Georgia detained two people for handling and attempting to sell $3 million worth of uranium which could have been used to make a deadly bomb.
