Russia is suspected of sending incendiary devices that ignited at shipping hubs in Europe as a 'test run' for a plot to send explosives on US-bound planes.
Western security officials reportedly said they believe Russia is plotting to plant explosives aboard either commercial or passenger airplanes bound for the United States and Canada. Two incendiary devices were shipped using the German logistics company DHL and ignited at DHL logistics hubs in Leipzig, Germany, and in Birmingham, England, in July, sparking a multinational investigation, according to the Wall Street Journal.
'The group’s goal was also to test the transfer channel for such parcels, which were ultimately to be sent to the United States of America and Canada,' the prosecutor’s office said, without revealing the names or nationalities of the suspects.
