Ballymun man accused of sending 'bombs-on-board' mails to Heathrow

A jury in the trial of a man accused of sending emails to Heathrow Airport claiming there were bombs on flights which were in the air at the time, has heard the threats were assessed not to be a credible risk by the authorities.

Detective Sergeant John Finan, of the Garda Computer Crime Investigation Unit, also told the jury that Yahoo accounts, from which the emails appeared to have come, were logged into by a user at a public access computer in a city centre library on the relevant dates. The user also looked at live flight information on the internet.
