“Russia has been plotting to place incendiary devices on cargo planes in Europe and even performed a test run this summer, setting off fires at shipping hubs in Britain and Germany,” the New York Times reported on Tuesday [November 5, 2024].
The incendiary devices were planted at DHL shipping hubs in Leipzig, Germany, and Birmingham, England, the Western officials said. The fires caused minimal damage and no injuries, they said, but the blazes raised the frightening specter of bombs potentially being loaded on aircraft.
That experiment may have been a prelude to something far more destabilizing: an operation aimed at “destroying planes on American runways, setting off bombs at U.S. warehouses or even blowing up aircraft midair.” – as reported by Noah Rothman, National Review
