Days after President Donald Trump of America banned citizens of some countries form entering the United States (US), the US has announced a ban on large electronic devices from cabin baggage on passenger flights from Egypt, Morocco and six other Muslim majority countries.

According to Ceoafrica, the Department of Homeland Security said extremists were seeking "innovative methods" to bring down jets, and that Bombs could be hidden in laptops, tablets, cameras, DVD players and electronic games.

United States officials said nine airlines, including Egypt Air and Royal Air Maroc, had been given 96 hours, beginning at 07:00 GMT on Tuesday, to ban devices bigger than a mobile phone or smartphone from cabins.

They said the ban has no end date.
