UK: Muslim Threatens To Blow Up Train in Scotland
Today, the BBC reports that on Friday (yesterday) a Glaswegian man, named Mohammed Hakeem told fellow passengers on a train out of Glasgow that he was going to blow up the train.
42-year old Hakeem was today brought before Paisley Sheriff's Court (pictured), charged with a racially aggravated offence under the Crime and DIsorder Act.
His solicitor denied the charge, and Hakeem was granted bail by Sheriff James Spy, and he will return to court in January. Hazel Emmerson, the prosecutor, had opposed bail, citing the nature of the offence and the type of threat made.
It is alleged he committed a breach of the peace, conducted himself in a disorderly manner while shouting and swearing and placed members of the public in a state of fear and alarm by threatening to target the train.
