The five live bombs that were found on Amritsar-Pathankot railway tracks yesterday were made of unmarked RDX, Army sources said.
The bombs, which were found by an alert trackman Ashwani, were defused by the Army after a four-hour effort last night.
The sources said the bombs weighed little over one kg and and were packed very neatly and cleverly.

A train, which was to pass through the tracks, was stopped just 200 metres from the spot where the bombs were planted. Railway traffic on the Amritsar-Pathankot section was suspended following the incident.
The five live bombs were carefully wired to the railway tracks at a small bridge near Parmanand railway station, five km from Dinanagar, the scene of yesterday's terror attack, in which seven persons including a superintendent of police were killed.
