Flight to Munich canceled after detonator was found
Germany’s Federal Criminal Office has sent a team of experts to Namibia after police in Windhoek discovered a suspect device including a detonator in baggage that was about to be loaded on board a plane bound for Munich.
The device contained batteries wired to a working clock and a detonator inside bags booked on an Airbus SAS LTU/Air Berlin flight from the Namibian capital yesterday, the Federal Criminal Office, or BKA, said today.
“Whether we’re dealing with an explosive device will only be determined after the on-going criminal investigation,” the Wiesbaden-based BKA said in an e-mailed statement.
