| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] German authorities have issued an urgent warning as parcels rigged with alleged incendiary devices' which exploded into flames while being shipped around Europe sparked sabotage plot fears. The parcels were sent from European locations to other locations on the continent via freight service providers and caught fire on the way, German news agency dpa reports, citing a message sent to airlines and logistics companies. The security notice was reportedly issued by the domestic intelligence service BfV and federal crime agency BKA to aviation and logistics companies. A connection with Russian sabotage has not been not ruled out in security circles, with sources saying the warning is linked to an incident at the DHL logistics centre in Leipzig, in the German state of Saxony, outlet Der Spiegel reports. In the Leipzig centre, which serves as DHL's global depot, a package containing an incendiary device caught fire in July. It was sent from the Baltic states and set fire to an entire freight container. |
