Oz crew took in detonation kit
Sydney, Sept. 21: An Australian television news crew says it was able to enter the main CWG arena carrying a case for an explosives detonation kit without being stopped, just days before the event begins.
The Channel 7 journalist, who also filmed blackmarket explosives on sale near New Delhi, walked into the venue carrying the case, capable of triggering up to 200 explosions if fitted with a detonator, without attracting suspicion.
Footage broadcast late on Monday showed reporter Mike Duffy easily walking into the cordoned off area with the over-sized, wheeled suitcase when a gate was opened to allow a police convoy through.
“Patrol cars drive in, I slip through,” he says in a voiceover. “While they’re distracted by their own cars, I breeze in with an oversized suitcase. There are dozens of police. But nobody asks me what it’s for. And this is no ordinary piece of luggage. It’s a portable, purpose-built casing for a remote detonation kit. The unit is capable of setting off 200 explosions.”
Duffy had earlier secretly filmed the purchase of the case from the boot of a car in a restaurant carpark north of New Delhi.
