Crude Bomb - Bangalore Kingfisher flight

Kingfisher airlines flew with a crude bomb flew from Bangalore to Trivandrum. Quite scary as it sounds, the bomb was found by the cleaning crew who were cleaning-up the cargo section of the flight after all passengers and bags were off-loaded. Suspecting something unusual, they informed the authorities after a check by the bomb-squad, it was confirmed that the package, wrapped in a Malayalam newspaper was indeed a bomb. However, it was classified as a low-intensive bomb.

Now the following questions remain:

1. Who shipped the bomb?
2. Was the shipment from Bangalore?
3. How can the Bangalore airport be careless in terms of what is being shipped?
4. At how many levels did a lapse occur?
5. What was the intent of the shipment? (to scare or to blow a plan in mid-air?)
