'Enhanced security' at overseas airports with US flights

[mhm]

The US homeland security department has said it will put into place "enhanced security measures" in certain overseas airports with direct flights to the US.

A UK transport official told the BBC the country would be among those to step-up security procedures.

The move comes amid US media reports that al-Qaeda affiliates in Syria and Yemen are developing bombs to smuggle on planes.
