| 2002-09-30 |
| A Swedish Muslim has been released without charge after being held on suspicion of trying to hijack a London-bound Ryanair plane. Kerim Sadok Chatty, 29, was arrested last month after trying to board the jet near Stockholm with a gun in his hand luggage. Police said they released him on Monday. "Ya, sure. Ve had some t'ings to dö, and nobody vÀnted to hang around the cÞp shÞp över the veekend..." A probe was launched into possible attempts to hijack the plane, but chief prosecutor Thomas Haggstrom said in a statement: "The investigation of that suspicion continues. Nothing in the investigation indicates that Chatty would have intended to crash the plane against any target in Sweden or in any other country." "Ve're sÌre he yust vÀnted to hijack it tÞ gÞ fÌr a ride..." The Muslim, of Tunisian origin, must remain in the Stockholm area and report regularly to the police, Haggstrom added. "And nÞ television fÌr you, young mÀn!" |
