Ryanair jet subject of Polish bomb hoax

Polish police acting on a tip-off from a hoax caller searched a Ryanair jet for an explosive device but found nothing, police and the airline said.

A spokesman for Warsaw police said a 48-year-old man had been detained after the hoax call was traced to his home.

“This was an irresponsible prank,” the spokesman, Mariusz Mrozek, told Polish broadcaster TVN24.
