US official: Investigators nearly missed 1 bomb

None

One of the two powerful bombs shipped to Chicago-area synagogues nearly slipped past investigators even after they were tipped off.

 

A US official says British authorities originally found no explosives in their sweep of cargo at the East Midlands airport in central England. After authorities in Dubai discovered a bomb there, however, British investigators restarted the search and found the second bomb. (AP)
