Brits charge Gatwick grenade artist...
2003-02-16
Police said Sunday that a 37-year-old man arrested Thursday after a suspected grenade was found in his luggage at Gatwick airport had been charged under the Terrorism Act. Hasil Mohammed Rahaham-Alan was charged with possession of explosives, possession of items for terrorist purposes and carrying a dangerous item on a flight. Police said he was a Venezuelan national and was arrested after arriving on a flight from Caracas. The discovery led officers to shut the airport's North Terminal for several hours.
Y'think it was the Venezuelan passport and the fact that he didn't speak Spanish that gave him away?

#2  Funny how in every single article I've read, save this one, his name wasn't published. Just that he was a "Venezuelan."
