Subject: Dubai bomb was flown on passenger plane
Written By: Philip Eno on 10/31/10 at 7:39 am
One of the two bombs posted from Yemen last week was transported on two passenger planes before being seized in Dubai, Qatar Airways says.
The device was carried on a Qatar Airbus A320 from the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, to Doha, the company confirmed.
There it was transferred onto another Qatar Airways plane to Dubai, where it was seized by police.
The bomb used PETN explosive, which is difficult to detect using normal airport security screening.
A second device was found at East Midlands Airport in the UK.
Until now it had been thought that both devices were transported using cargo planes.
