An investigation has been launched into how a fake bomb was put on a cargo plane and flown from the UK to Turkey without being detected.The UPS flight travelled to Istanbul with the package, reportedly containing a timer, wires and a detonator.The UK Department for Transport said it was taking the matter "very seriously".A 26-year-old man was arrested at his home last week on suspicion of making a bomb hoax but later [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] bailed to return to a north London police station.
Police, who stressed the incident was not terrorist-related, said the man would have to return in May.A Turkish man had delivered the package, disguised as a wedding cake box, to a UPS office in Camden, north London, a fortnight ago, according to ITV News. A Department for Transport spokesman said: "We have already begun an investigation which will look at all aspects of this incident, including UPS's procedures."The UK has [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] one of the toughest security regimes for air cargo in the world. All security measures are subject to continuous review."A UPS spokeswoman said: "Two weeks ago, a suspicious package travelled within the UPS network aboard an all-cargo aircraft from the United Kingdom to Istanbul, Turkey.
"UPS is co-operating with the UK Department for Transport's investigation of the incident. UPS has a multiple-layered approach to ensure security." Details of which UK airport the flight took off from have not been released at this stage.Last October a bomb [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] disguised as an ink cartridge was found on a UPS cargo plane at East Midlands Airport.
