AIRCRAFT SECURITY UPDATE
Britain’s emergency planning committee Cobra is meeting today to discuss calls for a review of air cargo security in the wake of bombs discovered on two planes. Some are calling for tighter screening for air freight – although many in the industry say security is already over burdensome.

US officials identify a Saudi-born bomb-maker as the prime suspect. Olly Barratt reports.
