A suspected bomb has been found in a suitcase that was about to be loaded on a plane bound for Germany from an airport in Namibia.
Germany’s Federal Crime Office (BKA) said the suspicious baggage had been seized at the international airport in Windhoek before it was loaded on to an LTU/Air Berlin flight to Munich.
The device,which reportedly included a detonator and timer but no explosives, was found on Wednesday – the same day Germany stepped up security measures because of a feared terrorist attack this month.
