Last week, four containers holding a total 80 warheads made by Romanian factory Tohan Zarnesti were stolen from a train that was delivering them to Bulgaria. The ammunition was reported missing in the Giurgiu station, close to the border. Authorities found the stolen ammunition Monday in an abandoned warehouse in Chitila, just outside capital Bucharest.
