He would try to embark an explosive device hidden in his hand luggage and he could have detonated it during the Ryanair flight from Manchester to Bergamo. For this reason, a citizen of Pakistani origin with an Italian passport, Nadeem Muhammad, was found guilty by the Manchester Crown Court

According to the BBC website, the 43-year-old was arrested on 30 January at the controls of Manchester Airport but the police had then released limiting himself to seize the artisanal bomb not considering it, at first dangerous. After the analyzes carried out it was instead revealed that it could have caused a massacre. The man had defended himself by claiming he did not know the origin. He was then handcuffed only on his return to the UK on 12 February.

According to investigators, he could have blown up the bomb during the flight and cause a serious depressurization of the aircraft. The penalty will be known only on 23 August. The motive remains “unknown” and at the moment terrorist connections have not emerged but the new false step of the British security services is evident, which seem to have disregarded the most basic security rules. After the discovery of the bomb by the control personnel, the manager Deborah Jeffrey would have put the bomb in her pocket, considering it not dangerous based

to a superficial analysis, before handing it over to the police. The Greater Manchester Police then admitted that the failure to arrest Muhammad on January 30 was a mistake not to be repeated.

The Pakistani man, who today broke down in tears when he read the sentence, was also subjected to detention in Italy, with the police who had checked his home and his workplace on 9 February and held him for some time. now but then released.
