Russia Suspected of Plotting to Send Incendiary Devices on U.S.-Bound Planes
Western security officials say they believe that two incendiary devices, shipped via DHL, were part of a covert Russian operation that ultimately aimed to start fires aboard cargo or passenger aircraft flying to the U.S. and Canada, as Moscow steps up a sabotage campaign against Washington and its allies.
Security officials say the electric massagers, sent to the U.K. from Lithuania, appear to have been a test run to figure out how to get such incendiary devices aboard planes bound for North America.

Russia suspected in plot to target cargo planes in Europe and the U.S.
European security officials have linked suspected Russian operatives to a plot to smuggle incendiary devices onto a cargo plane in Germany, in what investigators believe may have been a trial run for future attacks targeting North America-bound aircraft.
The package had originated in Lithuania and caught fire during a stopover. It was marked for delivery to a fake address in Birmingham, England, according to a German security official.
