Jail Term For Hoax Bomb Threat

A 61 year old man has been handed a 4 year jail term for sending Heathrow airport fake e-mails about bomb threat. Adam Busby from Ballmun close to Dublin airport sent the hoax emails from a Library in Dublin in 2006.

The emails claimed there were explosive devices on planes from Heathrow bound for New York. The judge told him he had caused unessercery anxiety and fear. He was charged with two counts of sending hoax messages for the purpose of causing annoyance and panic.

The man was traced after his computer IP address was tracked to Dublin City Libraries then onto Charleville Mall Public Library.

The judge suspended the final two years of the sentance and told the man he could not ignore the fact that he had been convicted twice for similar crimes.
