US authorities plan to bolster security at some airports in Europe and the Middle East with direct flights to the United States, officials said Wednesday.
Amid concern terror groups are developing new explosives to circumvent airport security, US Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson announced unspecified steps that would be carried out in “the coming days,” without saying which airports would be affected.
“We are sharing recent and relevant information with our foreign allies and are consulting the aviation industry,” Johnson said in a statement.
