New Delhi: Intelligence Bureau (IB) has warned security officials at
Indian airports against a new threat, cautioning them to look out for
passengers of Afghan-origin wearing leather jackets, which could be
modified to carry explosives.
The bureau, last week, asked the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) that looks after security in 59 airports across the country to identify such passengers and ensure they are thoroughly frisked before boarding.
"Leather jacket is quite common with passengers of Afghan-origin," said a senior CISF official. "The input has been received by IB but originally, security agencies in USA have got to know about this modus operandi. Terrorists have developed jackets in which it is difficult to detect explosives. Suspicious passengers will be asked to remove the jackets and frisking staff has been briefed to check them through handheld metal detectors carefully."
