A detonator and two more hand grenades were recovered during a search of a scrap warehouse in Lahore on Saturday, a day after a grenade explosion killed a labourer in the warehouse located in Misri Shah. According to police sources, a truck leaving the warehouse was stopped and searched from which led to recovery of two hand grenades. The police sources said that hand grenades and detonators found in a scrap warehouse were defused and the police detained two people. The matter was being investigated from various aspects, the police sources added. It may be mentioned here that a labourer was killed Friday due to a hand grenade explosion in Misri Shah. A warehouse worker was checking a hand grenade who probably did not know it was a grenade at all. Unknowingly, the worker opened the pin of the hand grenade and as soon as the pin was out there was a loud explosion in the warehouse. Labourer Khalil Ahmed's body was badly damaged in the explosion and he died on the spot.
