The suspicious package went undetected after being delivered to carrier UPS in Camden, north London, a fortnight ago, according to ITN.<\/p>\nA fake bomb carried on board a cargo aircraft from Britain to Istanbul, consisting of a wedding cake box with a timer, wires and a detonator, wasn’t discovered until the plane reached its destination.<\/p>\n
The suspicious package went undetected after being delivered to carrier UPS in Camden, north London, a fortnight ago, according to ITN.<\/p>\n
UPS is the same airline that carried a bomb disguised as a printer ink cartridge from Yemen to East Midlands airport last year.<\/p>\n
According to the Metropolitan Police, a search was carried out at an address in north London after the latest incident and a 26-year-old man arrested. He was later bailed to return on a date in May.<\/p>\n
A spokesman at the Department for Transport said they were aware of the incident and took it very seriously.<\/p>\n
‘We have already begun an investigation which will look at all aspects of this incident, including UPS\u2019s procedures,’ a Department for Transport spokesperson commented.<\/p>\n
‘The UK has one of the toughest security regimes for air cargo in the world. All security measures are subject to continuous review.’<\/p>\n
In a statement, UPS confirmed that ‘a suspicious package’ travelled in its network aboard an all-cargo aircraft from the UK to Turkey.<\/p>\n
‘UPS is cooperating with the British Department for Transport\u2019s investigation of the incident,’ the statement continued.<\/p>\n
The bomb hoax is not believed to be linked to terrorism.<\/p>\n
In the wake of the 2010 incident involving two bombs disguised as printers and sent to the US by Yemen-based al-Qaeda, cargo screening procedures across the world were supposed to have been tightened.<\/p>\n
