Erroll Southers, Asscociate Director of Research Transition at CREATE, was featured on numerous media outlets subsequent to the discovery of bombs in cargo planes at the end of October.

On October 29, 2010, two packages, each containing a bomb consisting of 300 to 400 grams (11-14 oz) of plastic explosives and a detonating mechanism, were found on separate cargo planes. The bombs were discovered as a result of intelligence received from Saudi Arabia's security chief. They were bound from Yemen to the United States, and were discovered at en route stop-overs, in England and in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
