Montreal: The United Nations on Monday announced plans to enhance air mail security, one year after parcels exploded at DHL depots in Germany and Britain, in a plot blamed on Russia.
The strategy announced by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Universal Postal Union -- two specialized UN agencies -- aims to improve threat detection, officials told AFP.
European intelligence services believe Russia was behind the explosions last July at DHL depots in Leipzig, Germany and Birmingham in Britain.
Several people implicated in the operation were believed to be "disposable" agents with no official position in the Russian intelligence services, according to German media reports.
Such low-level agents were typically recruited via messaging apps to carry out tasks for money, the reports said.
