No explosives found in seized Cairo packages: DHL officials
THE two DHL packages that were seized yesterday at Cairo International Airport on suspicion that they contained "explosive materials," have been determined to contain no such materials, according to DHL officials, media reports say.
"As part of our standard screening and security procedure, we identified a shipment at DHL's Cairo airport facility that required further screening by the authorities," according to a statement from DHL's Global Communications office.
"The Egyptian authorities have subsequently informed us that the shipment contained no explosives or explosive devices."
Egyptian news organization Ahram Online had reported on November 24 that X-ray scanners had detected explosive materials in the two suspicious DHL parcels destined for the United States via London. Upon further investigation, it has been confirmed by both DHL and Egyptian officials that the initial alert was a false alarm.
