The Swede suspected of planning to hijack a London bound airliner was moved to a Stockholm jail today, as his lawyer predicted a hijacking charge would not hold up in a trial.

A Swede, arrested as he attempted to board a London-bound Ryanair flight with a gun in his hand luggage, is to remain in custody while prosecutors investigate charges he planned to hijack the airliner.
