KATHMANDU, Sept 16: A pressure-cooker with explosive material was found near the US Embassy at Maharajgunj at around 4 p.m. on Wednesday.



On suspicion of it being a bomb, Armed Police Force´s bomb disposal team was pressed into service to defuse it. However, the team later found that it was not connected with any detonator and it did not have any chance of explosion. "The explosive powder is usually used in making small-scale bombs," said a police officer.



The cooker was found wrapped in a suspicious bag and was left on the way to the Nabil Bank.
