Security authorities warn of incendiary devices in air freight

German security authorities are warning of "unconventional incendiary devices" sent by unknown persons via freight service providers. They have "knowledge of several parcel shipments that were posted by private individuals at locations in Europe and caught fire on their way to their addressees in several European countries", according to a security notice obtained by the German Press Agency in Berlin. This was sent to aviation and logistics companies by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) and the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA). In security circles, a connection with Russian sabotage cannot be ruled out.
