Quotes

A suspect allegedly involved in sending incendiary devices to Germany and the UK has been detained in Lithuania, German media has reported.

Germany's domestic intelligence chief Thomas Haldenwang disclosed on Monday that a parcel burst into flames on the ground at Leipzig Airport in July before it could be loaded onto a DHL cargo plane.

Another similar incident occurred in July at a DHL warehouse near Birmingham, central England.

Household appliances with incendiary devices were shipped from Lithuania to the United Kingdom and Germany via DHL.

Haldenwang blamed the Leipzig incident on 'Russian espionage and sabotage', which he said is increasing in an attempt to create chaos in the countries that support Ukraine.

UK anti-terrorism police are investigating whether Russian spies were involved in sending the device that caught fire in Birmingham.
