Tennessee Soldier Arrested

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -An Army Special Forces soldier has been arrested following the discovery of about 100 pounds of explosives at his Tennessee home.

Federal and military officials searched his home early Monday
morning after a pair of hunters found the C-4, a plastic explosive,
in a field outside Clarksville.

The house is near the Fort Campbell, Ky., Army post where the soldier is based.

Maj. April Olsen, a spokeswoman for Army Special Forces at Fort
Campbell, said the soldier, who was not identified, is currently
being held in the county jail.

Ted Denny, spokesman for the Montgomery County sheriff, said the
explosives found late Sunday evening appeared to be military ordnance.
