Suitcase bomb was bound for Germany
The BKA federal police force said the suspicious baggage had been seized on Wednesday at the international airport in Windhoek before it was due to be loaded on to an LTU/Air Berlin flight to the southern German city of Munich.
“A subsequent X-ray (of the luggage) revealed batteries that were attached with wires to a detonator and a ticking clock,” it said in a statement.
