Swedish Man Sparks Airport Bomb Alert with Unclaimed Luggage
Pictures courtesy of Daily News A Swedish man inadvertently caused a security scare at Udon Thani airport by leaving a suitcase containing explosive ingredients. Authorities quickly apprehended him at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport. On 17th April, Udon Thani International Airport officials were alerted by 58-year-old Swedish passenger Mr Erik, who boarded an Air Asia flight to Suvarnabhumi but left a suitcase behind. Initial checks on the suitcase detected suspicious materials, prompting a coordinated response from related authorities. Officials reached out to Udon Thani police, Air Force units, and immigration officers for assistance. The unclaimed suitcase was found at Terminal 2. Surveillance footage identified it as belonging to the Swedish passenger already en route to Bangkok. When contacted, Mr Erik was uncooperative, resulting in his temporary detention for investigation. Advanced detection equipment screened the suitcase, revealing traces of triacetone triperoxide (TATP), a potential explosive precursor. Security measures, including deploying K9 units and bomb containment units, were implemented as a precaution. The airport was temporarily closed for safety while operations ensured no passengers were endangered. EOD specialists from the Air Force took 30 minutes to confirm the absence of hazardous materials. Mr Erik later admitted the suitcase was his, packed by a friend, and contained used clothes and Thai herbs for personal use. Upon inspection, the bag was found to contain only personal items and dried herbs like butterfly pea flowers and bael fruit. Udon Thani airport director, Ms Thippawan, confirmed that standard international security protocols were followed using state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring passenger safety with minimal disruption. She indicated the false alarm could stem from accidental chemical contamination, possibly from environments where explosives were handled or displayed. Overall, the incident highlights the effectiveness of modern security measures and the importance of vigilance around suspicious items in airports. Based on a story by Daily News -- 2025-04-18 -
