Irish bomb hoaxer jailed
25.07.10
A Scottish man who has been living in Dublin was sentenced to four years in jail for emailing two hoax bomb threats to Heathrow Airport. Adam Busby claimed in the emails to be from the Scottish National Liberation Army (SNLA). The 61-year-old was convicted 13 years ago for similar offenses when he made threatening phone calls to the Scottish media.
During the trial, the court also heard of other threats and acts of terrorism that he is suspected to have made. This has included threatening the water supply in Manchester. He has also sent bottles of vodka to politicians and journalists filled with caustic soda.
Mr Busby pleaded not guilty to the offenses at Dublin Circuit Court. He suffers from multiple sclerosis, is wheelchair-bound and is expected to serve two years of his four-year sentence.
