Suspicious bag delays Germany-bound flight

Amid heightened concerns about terrorist attacks in Germany, a bag was found on a flight from Namibia to Munich. This bag wasn't harmful and did not contain explosives; it could be a lookalike to test airport security. It was labeled a "Wile E. Coyote bomb" because it looks like your typical bomb, with a ticker, fuse and batteries. Experts have not looked at the bag yet, but it appears to be just as test as there were no luggage tags for it to be put on a plane. The scare made security check the passengers on the plane, and no owner for the bag stepped forward. Results are yet to be determined.
