Hijack charges will not stand up says suspect's lawyer

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.

Kerim Sadok Chatty, 29, was moved from the police station in Vaesteraas, 60 miles northwest of the capital, where he had been held since last Thursday, when security officers at the local airport found a gun in his carry-on luggage as he was about to board a Ryanair flight to Stansted.
