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 bailed to return to a north London police station in May.

 

Police stressed the incident was not terrorist-related.

 

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.

Human Error?? we are only as safe as the next man in the chain ( booking in clerks, xray operators, airport security, police ect. ) I think we are 99% safe but it only takes one lapse of cocentration. We all remember Lockerbie but we dont let it rule our lives we see a cheap flight and book it dont we, flying has got to be the safest form of transport
