Russia schemed to send incendiary devices, shipped through a commercial carrier on planes that would potentially end up in the United States, according to sources familiar with the situation. "The group's goal was also to test the transfer channel for such parcels, which were ultimately to be sent to the United States of America and Canada," according to the statement. But devices don't always work properly and the risks to commercial and civilian aviation are serious when incendiary devices are enabled and shipped. "We greatly appreciate the cooperation and collaboration with industry as together we work to ensure the safety and security of air cargo."
