Security guards at an airport
in central Vietnam discovered a live hand grenade among freight aboard a
flight bound for Hanoi on Tuesday, with information about its sender
remaining unknown.
The green
grenade looks quite new with an intact safety pin and detonator, Le Quoc
Cuong, head of security at Phu Bai Airport in Thua Thien-Hue Province, told Tuoi Tre (Youth)
newspaper the same day.
It was
wrapped in a bag and sent to the airport by the provincial post office at
around 8:30 am, in order to be shipped to Hanoi on a Vietnam Airlines flight
scheduled to depart at 10:50 am, Cuong said.
Security
officers discovered the explosive device during the baggage scanning process
and immediately notified the province’s police and military.
The Thua
Thien-Hue military unit has seized the grenade for investigation.
The
explosive has been transferred to the army's technical division to verify if
it is lethal, Nguyen Hong Son, head of the province’s Military Command, said.
In the
meantime, the provincial post office said it had received the package from
Dong Ha, the capital city of the neighboring province of Quang Tri, and
continued forwarding it to Hanoi as per the sender’s request.
The post
office, however, refused to provide the personal particulars of the sender.
Local police
are working to figure out who sent the package.
