Explosive in aircraft: 3 detained for questioning at Bangalore airport

Three persons were detained at Bangalore airport today for questioning in connection with the recent recovery of crude explosive material onboard the Kingfisher aircraft at the airport here, police sources said.

All three are Keralites, they said. 

The three were about to take a flight to Dubai when emigration personnel detained them on suspicion. They were handed over to CISF, who in turn, alerted the Kerala police, which is investigating the case.

The crude explosive material was detected in the cargo hold of the flight here on Sunday, sparking a bomb scare.
