Thiruvananthapuram:A low-intensity country-made bomb was found inside a
Kingfisher flight IT-4731 from Bangalore to Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday morning. The plane was later taken to the remote bay area of the
Thiruvananthapuram airport, where the security personnel and the airport authorities
assessed the suspicious object found on-board. All the passengers were deplaned
after the cargo cleaner alerted the CISF officials of a suspicious object. The Bomb
Disposal Squad ( BDS ) was
soon rushed to the airport to check the nature of the crude bomb. Sources said
the explosive was defused and later taken off the aircraft. Kingfisher has meanwhile
issued a statement confirming that all passengers on-board the flight are safe.
