Clarksville, Tennessee - A special U.S. military personnel were arrested and charged with alleged possession of large amounts of military equipment. Military equipment was stolen objects.

Army special forces member was arrested outside his residence at Fort Campbell. April Olsen, a spokesman for the U.S. military on the border of Tennessee, said the officer was detained in the jail district.

U.S. military and the federal investigation agency confirmed the arrest of a military officer of U.S. special forces. He was arrested in an armed state in the area around Clarksville in Tennessee and Kentucky border.

The soldiers searched the residence of the military and federal soldiers outside the Clarksville after the discovery of hundreds of plastic explosive C-4 in a field on Sunday, said Ted Denny, spokesman for the Montgomery district sheriff.

About 100 pounds (45.3 kilograms) of military explosive C-4 found in the soldier's residence in the state of Tennessee.

The soldier was immediately arrested without collateral after investigators found explosives on Sunday local time, reported by the AP.

Central authorities carry out an investigation to investigate and determine the soldiers' motives in stealing military equipment, but no details about the arrest of these soldiers.

Joel Siskovic, a spokesman for the FBI in Tennessee, said that his agents are assigned to a joint anti-terror forces, presented in the scene, but after doing interviews, they ensure that U.S. soldiers had nothing to do with the activities of "terrorism" domestic or international.

C-4 explosives are the most special explosives used by the military, commercial use is permitted but restricted. For example, for the destruction of the building, said Lon Santis, manager of technical services the Institute of Makers of Explosives (Explosives Fabricators Institute), the association of security and safety in the use of commercial explosives industry.

Santis said that the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives have noted the things needed for storage and identification that can be used to track the presence of explosives, but these requirements do not apply to military explosives.
