No explosives found in U.S.-bound parcels at Cairo airport: DHL

"As part of our standard screening and security procedure, we identified a shipment today at DHL’s Cairo airport facility that required further screening by the authorities. The Egyptian authorities have subsequently informed us that the shipment contained no explosives or explosive devices," Bea Garcia said in an emailed statement.

CBS News earlier reported that Egyptian officials were investigating the possibility that some U.S.-bound packages contained explosives.
