Mumbai: Airport security officials are watching out for passengers carrying perfume bottles following an intelligence alert that warns of a “threat from a perfume bottle-based IED”. This alert, dated July 20, comes a week after the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai was put on high alert following the serial blasts. It directs all airport operators, aircraft operators and cargo operators to keep a special watch on mail scanners, parcel and x-ray scanners to identify perfume bottles.
“According to an input, a perfume bottle-based IED has been devised by Pakistan-based terrorists. Since these bottles are supposed to be sent through couriers as “gifts”, appropriate counter measures need to be undertaken immediately,” the alert message issued by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security of India (BCAS) says.
