Capt K now you are just being silly. None of us has all the facts. The people who have the most facts are the Swedish Prosecution services. It is not always what you read in the newspapers which is important, what you do not read is just as, and indeed sometimes more, important. You are doing just what others on here complain about when the press reports an aviation item inaccurately - you are reading things into what has been written. Some of what has been said in the press may, or may not be true and accurate. It may be another case of the press sensationalising things. The point I am trying to make is that it is easy to jump to conclusions when you are in possesion of some, but not all of the facts. As I said in a previous post on this thread, I am just pleased that another lethal weapon has been removed from circulation before someone else was hurt or killed.
Oh, and by the way, I am not so stupid that I think an ostrich is a native Australian bird.

It never ceases to amaze me how many "useful fools" there are in Europe.

Let's see . . . Tunisian background, recent convert to islam, took flying lessons but was thrown out of school for gross ineptitude, loser with criminal background including weapons charges . . . shows up on an airplane flight with a firearm and no plausible explanation.

I've heard enough.

And now the Germans don't want to release crucial information to the US because Moussaui may face capital punishment.

Nice to know who your friends really are.

Hijack suspect released from Swedish custody

Swedish hijack suspect released from jail
30/09/2002 - 9:47:56 am

A man accused of planning to hijack a London-bound airliner last month was released from custody in Sweden today.

But prosecutors said the investigation would continue into why the suspect had a gun in his hand luggage when he tried to board the Ryanair flight.

Kerim Chatty, 29, was being held on suspicion of planning a hijacking and illegal possession of a weapon.

Chief prosecutor Thomas Haeggstroem had until today to prepare formal charges.

Haeggstroem said there was not enough evidence to continue holding Chatty on the hijacking charge, but the investigation would continue.

“In the last days the suspicions against Kerim Chatty have been weakened and there no longer are probable grounds for the suspicion of planning to hijack,” the prosecutor said.

Chatty, whose father is Tunisian and mother is Swedish, spent four weeks in jail after security officials at a regional airport in Vaesteraas, 60 miles northwest of the capital Stockholm, found a gun in his carry-on luggage on August 29.

He admitted that he had the gun but pleaded not guilty to the hijacking charge.

Chatty told police he was part of a group of people going to an Islamic conference in Birmingham.
