An air passenger has been found guilty of trying to smuggle a pipe bomb onto a Ryanair flight, from Manchester to Bergamo, in his hand luggage. Nadeem Muhammad, 43, was attempting to board a flight to Bergamo, Italy, on January 30 when security officers at Manchester Airport found the device, made from batteries, tape, a marker pen and pins. But the court heard when airport security swabbed the bomb there was no trace of explosive on the outside and officers did not believe it was a viable device.
