Russia behind plot to plant bombs on cargo planes, Western official says
Russia was responsible for sending two incendiary devices to DHL logistics hubs in Germany and the United Kingdom in July as part of a wider sabotage campaign to possibly start fires aboard aircraft bound for North America, a Western security official told NBC News.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on the suspected plot.
Polish authorities have arrested four people and are searching for two more in connection with the case, according to government officials and Polish media.
German and British authorities have said they were investigating suspected Russian sabotage in two incidents in July. A package en route to an aircraft exploded at a DHL logistics center in Leipzig before a scheduled flight. Also in July, a package burst into flames at a DHL center in Birmingham, England.
The packages included electric massagers that contained a magnesium-based flammable substance, the Western official said.
