THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A suspected bomb, complete with detonator and stopwatch, was discovered during a routine security check on luggage destined for a Germany-bound aeroplane in Namibia on Wednesday.
The package was discovered in the terminal building of Windhoek International Airport shortly before it was due to be loaded onto an Air Berlin plane bound for Munich.
A spokesman for Germany’s Federal Crime Office (BKA) said it was still unclear if the package could have been detonated.
On Wednesday, Germany upped its security threat level after being warned by an intelligence ally about a possible terrorist attack towards the end of the month. >>> Aislinn Laing in Cape Town | Thursday, November 18, 2010
