Incredible story breaking. Printer Cartridges are supposedly to have been converted to bombs, transported on cargo planes, and also UPS trucks!

Images here captured moments after the story broke.

I think Sky News made a mockup model of what an ink cartridge bomb might look like. Either that, or just cut to what an ink cartridge is.

Not bombs 'but sinister'.
Anthrax?

Given the focus on UPS aircraft, could this be a more personal/ company targeted threat rather than potential act of terrorism?

Clive Myrie on in the Washington studio right now.

They just took one out of their printers and plonked it on the desk next to Andrew.

TNT Express have alerted all Hub staff to X-Ray all packages and strip down all pallets.

Yes, from the CNN domestic studio in Atlanta . . .

Yes, from the CNN domestic studio in Atlanta . . .


Does Hala usually present on Domestic?

Forget that, the domestic anchor (forgive me, I don't know his name) just introduced her as a colleague from CNNI. I actually think it works really well when simulcasting big events. More of this please.

Not usually no, and certainly not in this timeslot. Hala should have been anchoring International Desk on CNNI so obviously they decided to combine operations, due to the US and international implications of the story. It's really just the equivalent of the News Channel presenter doing a simulcast alongside a World presenter.
