'Terrorist prank' delays easyJet flight
08.01.10
A prank involving a souvenir sphinx was behind a bomb scare which delayed a holiday flight from Edinburgh Airport and led to passengers being put up in an airport hotel overnight, the Evening News reports.
A sphinx statue was discovered in a plane toilet with a note reading: ‘I'm an Egyptian terrorist’. Police and bomb disposal experts were called, but it was a hoax. A newspaper source at the airport said it was a prank by stewards on the plane, which had just flown in from Madrid.
