Probe into explosive on Trivandrum flight

The police have a constituted a high level committee headed by DCP Jolly Cherian to investigate the crude bomb, which was found on Sunday from the cargo section of Kingfisher flight from Bangalore to Thiruvananthapuram.

Security agencies are yet to explain just how it got there. The Kerala Government has ordered the investigating agencies to conduct a thorough probe to find out how this lapse occurred at the airport. They are not ruling out the possibility that some individual or a group was trying to test the chinks in the system as a dry run to something bigger.

A suspicious package on board a Kingfisher flight at the Thiruvananthapuram airport triggered a security alarm on Sunday morning.

The ball-shaped package was reportedly a high power hand cracker found wrapped in a newspaper in the cargo compartment of flight IT 4731 that arrived from Bangalore. All the 31 passengers on the small ATR aircraft had deplaned.
