Irishman may be fined for ‘bomb’ hoax at airport

A ‘FRUSTRATED and angry’ Irishman caused panic at one of Europe’s busiest airports yesterday after shouting that he had a bomb in his luggage because he was furious at not being helped by staff at the information desk.

The 23-year-old man, whose name was not released, created consternation and sent passengers running for their lives after hearing him shout ‘bomb’ in the arrivals area of Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport.

A large section of the arrivals, as well as the departures hall, were sealed off as military police, backed up by anti-terrorist officers and sniffer dogs, charged the Irishman, who raced through the airport.
