US warns airlines of terror attack

Date:

Washington: The US government has warned American and foreign airlines ahead of the Sochi Olympics that terrorists could try to hide explosives in toothpaste tubes on Russia-bound flights.

National Security Council said the disclosure had not affected existing guidelines about travel to the resort city of Sochi. Two US warships have arrived in the Black Sea and will stand ready to offer assistance in case of an emergency at the event.

Security at the Games has been a major concern for Washington following two deadly December suicide attacks in the southern Russian city of Volgograd. The State Department has issued a travel alert for Russia, urging Americans to “remain attentive regarding their personal security at all times”.
