(CNN) Evan Perez, Jodi Enda and Barbara Starr - U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies believe that ISIS and other terrorist organizations have developed innovative ways to plant explosives in electronic devices that FBI testing shows can evade commonly used airport security screening methods. Terrorists have obtained sophisticated airport security equipment to test how to effectively conceal explosives in laptops and other electronic devices. The intelligence played a significant role in the U.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. Intelligence officials received a wake-up call in February 2016, when an operative from al-Shabaab, an al-Qaeda affiliate in Somalia, detonated a laptop bomb on a Daallo Airlines flight from Mogadishu to Djibouti. The bomber was blown out of the airplane but the aircraft was able to make an emergency landing. 2017-04-03 00:00:00Full Article
