Navy intruder man arrested again
2005-04-14
A man who managed to get on board a US aircraft carrier has been arrested again attempting to enter a naval base less than 24 hours after being made subject to an anti-social behaviour order banning him from entering prohibited areas.

Under the terms of the order Abdoul Masmoud Yessoufou was banned yesterday from entering non-public areas of Portsmouth Naval Base after he was caught on board the USS Harry S Truman on Saturday.

But at 8.52am today, the 37-year-old from Newport, Isle of Wight, was arrested as he attempted to enter a gate at Portsmouth Naval Base.

A Royal Navy spokesman said: "MOD police arrested a 37-year-old man at an entrance to Portsmouth Naval Base on suspicion of breaching an Asbo.

"He is currently in custody at Portsmouth Central Police Station."

Yessoufou sparked a security review at the naval base as he managed to get past both Royal and US Navy security to get on board the visiting nuclear-powered warship.

He was able to walk around for two hours unhindered before he was found, arrested and detained initially under the Terrorism Act 2000.

The Asbo issued by Portsmouth magistrates yesterday banned Yessoufou from entering restricted areas of the naval base, Portsmouth Continental Ferryport and Southampton International Airport, punishable by five years imprisonment.

The court heard that Yessoufou had previously been convicted of entering airside areas at Heathrow on three occasions in February this year and on another occasion at Southampton airport.

#10  hey Abdoul! The intakes on jet engines whisper sweet tidings from your 72 virgins - especially at full power. Come listen closely

#9  "He has been busted at airports on the flight line repeatedly. He has a thing with big forms of transportation. He might just end up cleaning a out a jet turbine the hard way some day."

There are some real winners out there. I remember an Airshow in Bermuda a few years back (1991?) a couple of locals thought it would be a bloody fine thing to light up in the "shade" under the wing of a FULLY FUELED A-6. Granted that you can put a regular cigarete out in JP-5, but what they were smoking burned somewhat hotter.

They didn't have the brains God gave bastard geese in Ireland. They were just trying to have a mellow time.

#7  If you read about this dipshitz he has to belong in a home. He has been busted at airports on the flight line repeatedly. He has a thing with big forms of transportation. He might just end up cleaning a out a jet turbine the hard way some day.

#6  Likely would be a security alert. Deadly force is authorized for specific situations and conditions. A lone, unarmed individual who doesn't resist wouldn't qualify. I suspect there's gonna be some 'rug- dancing'in the Truman CO's cabin about this.

#5  For a ship, isn't deadly force authorized if the captain gives the order to repel boarders?

#4  I agree with Sobiesky. "Nacht und Nebel" works for me.

#3  How about not surfacing at all...?

#2  If he finds his way onto a US vessel again, he should surface in Gitmo.

#1  The guy won't obey a lawful order? Give him ten lashes; that (hopefully) might get his attention.
