Two Vietnamese women have been detained at Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur International Airport after claiming that they were carrying bombs in their luggage.

The case occurred while the two were completing procedures for Vietnam Airlines flight VN680 from Kuala Lumpur to Hanoi last Thursday. 

When asked by airport staff about the luggage, one of the women said that there were bombs in it. She even repeated the comment for the second time.

Airport authorities immediately isolated the passengers for questioning. No bombs were discovered.
