The Sun reports that one of the powerful parcel jet bombs sent from Yemen was carried on passenger planes before it was intercepted.
Shockingly, it is claimed the explosive device, which was on its way to Chicago, could not be detected by sniffer dogs or scanners.
The package was smuggled on two jets before it arrived in Dubai and was discovered by security officials.
A spokesman for Qatar Airways said a parcel containing explosives hidden in a printer cartridge arrived in the airline's hub in Doha, Qatar, on one of the carrier's flights from the Yemeni capital Sana'a.
It was then shipped on a separate Qatar Airways plane to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
A statement on the airline website read: "Qatar Airways can confirm that a recent courier consignment was carried aboard one of its aircraft from Sana'a to Dubai via Doha International Airport.
