" Man jailed over grenade on plane"
From correspondents in London
May 21, 2005
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A DEPRESSED Venezuelan man who smuggled a grenade onto a plane bound for Britain, where he intended to blow himself up to highlight humanitarian causes, was today sentenced to six years in jail.
Former mosque worker and devout Muslim Hasil Mohammed Rahaman-Allan, 39, had no links to militant groups and the grenade - hidden in a knee massager - had been disarmed.
Customs officers at London's Gatwick airport discovered the grenade during a random x-ray check in February 2003 after Rahaman-Allan had arrived on a British Airways flight from Caracas.
Police initially charged Rahaman-Allan under anti-terrorism laws, but the prosecution later accepted he had acted as a result of depression caused by the death of his father and separation from his wife and daughter.
The London court heard the grenade could not have been detonated because the fuse and detonator had been removed, although Rahaman-Allan had been unaware of this."
