Battalion Gunner Robert Sundstrom, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines, examines the plastique, blasting caps and nitroglycerin his Marines discovered while searcing a suspected terrorist’s house during operations this week. Sundstrom said he believed seizing the explosives made the roads in the surrounding area a lot less likely have emplaced improvied explosive devices in the future.
