Police still clueless

Thiruvananthapuram: Even after three days, the city police still seem to be clueless about the source of the packet containing explosives that was detected in a Kingfisher aircraft at the airport here on Sunday morning.
``We have taken several persons into custody as part of interrogation. But no suspects have been arrested so far,’’ a top police officer told `Express’.
While the Bangalore police strongly maintain that the packet was planted after the aircraft took off from Bangalore on Sunday morning, the Thiruvananthapuram city police say that it could be either from Bangalore or Thiruvananthapuram.
Sources said that except a few foreign nationals, all the 27 passengers on board the aircraft have been traced and quizzed. Efforts are on to trace the remaining foreigners who are tourists.
There are unconfirmed reports that three persons, including two contract workers who spotted the packet and a person hailing from Nedumangad who is suspected to have supplied the explosive, are kept in police custody.
