UK flight bomb terror
croatiantimes.com
Terrified passengers had to evacuate a packed budget airline jet heading
for Britain today (Wednesday) after a chilling terror bomb threat in
mid-air.
The Wizz Air plane carrying 165 passengers was forced to
turn around on its way to Luton and return to Timisoara airport in
Romania just 15 minutes into the 6.20am flight.
This morning
(Wednesday) local police and anti-organised crime squad officers were
quizzing a suspect identified locally as Anghelescu Viorel, 49, from
Constanta.
Wizz Air staff confirmed the mid-air drama but told of
a potentially lethal mix-up over which jet was supposed to contain the
bomb.
Air security staff at first identified the Whiz Air plane
as the target and then minutes later named a second flight as the bomb
plane.
Spokesman Daniel Amzar said: "The Wizz Air flight has
returned to the ground and was checked thoroughly, in line with our bomb
threats procedures.
"It has been confirmed that there was no
bomb on the Wizz Air flight."
Timisoara police spokesperson
Marinela Apostolache this morning (Weds) said that one suspect had been
detained by the country's elite anti-organised crime force, DIICOT.
It
is understood he was traced through phone records which pinpointed the
bomb call to an address in Costanta, 400 miles from the airport.
Local
airport police also confirmed that no explosive devices had been found
after searches of two planes at Timisoara airport.
Wizz Air said
passengers will continue their flight to London at lunchtime today after
a six hour delay.
