Proceeding contribution from Baroness Neville-Jones (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 1 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Terrorism: Aviation Security.


Terrorism: Aviation Security

Given the destinations of the packages—one was destined for a synagogue in Chicago and the other for a shared Christian/Jewish centre—there was certainly speculation that these presents were intended for the recipients. I cannot give a precise answer and I would not want to suggest that there is total certainty about what we now assess to be the case—that these devices were intended to explode in mid-air—but the technical analysis tends to suggest that that was more likely to be the intention of the perpetrators.
