Germany probes possible plot to bomb Israeli plane

New story reported on MSNBC - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15204287/

According to this story, members of a terrorist organization approached a male employee at FRA to smuggle a bomb onto an El Al passenger plane. The male employee had access to the security department at a German airport and expressed willingness to smuggle a suitcase or bag onto a plane for payment. However, the employee and terrorists could not agree on a price for planting a bomb.

For some reason, the German authorities detained six individuals but later released them: "... a security source told Reuters the suspects were from Jordan, Kuwait and Iraq. Der Tagesspiegel newspaper reported that most were Jordanians of Palestinian origin." Authorities also searched several apartments to gather evidence.
