A suspected bomb was discovered in a suitcase checked on a German-bound plane in Namibia, Germany's Federal Crime Office said on Thursday.
10:19AM GMT 18 Nov 2010Namibian police intercepted a suspicious object with a detonator and a running clock in the luggage on an Air Berlin plane from Windhoek to Munich.
Authorities in Namibia were investigating whether the device found during the loading of the Airbus jet on Wednesday could have exploded.
"A subsequent X-ray (of the luggage) revealed batteries that were attached with wires to a detonator and a ticking clock," the German authorities said in a statement....
It doesn't matter, although interesting, if the bomb couild explode. We know for a fact, many devices used by the 'modern day' al Qaeda are ineffectual. So, this was definately AN ATTEMPT, but, it was intercepted by very astute security officers. Well done.
