gas canister #2
オランダで予定されていた演奏会が，テロの密告により中止になりました。密告があった後，警察がコンサート会場の付近を調査した結果，テロに使われる可能性があった小型トラックが発見されました。
記事の中で気になった表現は"gas canister"です。『Wisdom英和辞典第三版』（三省堂）を調べると"canister"で「(ガス弾･散弾の) 円筒, (ふた付きの) 缶, キャニスター」などという意味がありました。小型トラックには大量のガス管が積まれていたようです。(Ume)
Dutch gig cancelled over terror tip-off
A van containing gas canisters has been discovered near a music venue in Rotterdam, hours after a tip-off from Spanish police led to the cancellation of a rock concert.
The driver of the Spain-registered van was detained by police, Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb told journalists.
US band Allah-Las - which often gets threats because of its name - had been due to perform at The Maassilo.
But the warning led to the gig being called off at the last minute.
Spanish attacks: What we know
However, Mr Aboutaleb said it was not clear if the van and the terror threat were linked. The warning came amid a heightened sense of alert after attacks in Spain.
