The Australian Federal Police are looking into an act of
alleged sabotage involving a Qantas plane.
The plane was undergoing maintenance in Brisbane when the
alleged incident occurred last week, before Qantas grounded
its entire fleet on Saturday during an industrial dispute.
"The AFP is aware of an alleged incident of interference with
a Qantas aircraft which was undergoing maintenance at
Brisbane Airport," the AFP said in a statement.
"This matter has been referredto the AFP for further
inquiries."
A decision is expected soon on whether the AFP, which has
jurisdiction at Australian airports, will formally launch an
investigation.
