BBC News - Explosives planted on man to test airport security

Irish police have released a man held over an explosives find, after Slovakian authorities admitted planting them in his luggage.

The explosive was one of eight pieces of contraband placed with unsuspecting passengers at Bratislava Airport last weekend, broadcaster RTE reported.

The 49-year-old unwittingly brought the material into Dublin when he returned from his Christmas holidays.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Had Slovakian authorities not claimed credit for the explosives, our 49-year old could be thinking he had just stepped into a Kafka story.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
