New Terrorist Laptop Bombs May Evade Airport Security

Terrorist organizations, including ISIS and al-Qaida, may be developing laptops bombs capable of avoiding airport security, CNN reported Friday, after speaking with U.S. intelligence officials and law enforcement agencies.

Intelligence sources maintained that as airport security improved, "terrorists have obtained sophisticated airport security equipment to test how to effectively conceal explosives in laptops and other electronic devices," CNN reported.

The intelligence also "played a significant role in the [President Donald] Trump administration's decision to prohibit travelers flying out of 10 airports in eight countries in the Middle East and Africa from carrying laptops and other large electronic devices aboard planes,"

The terrorist organization leading the way in finding creative ways to conceal bombs was al-Qaida, according to intelligence officials, CNN reported.
