Bomb threat man is a Russian

Tuesday 14 February 2012

The man who caused chaos at Schiphol airport on Monday is a 40-year-old Russian, say airport police. He has no identification papers and communicating with him is difficult so his motivation for the disruption remains unclear.

The man shouted that he was carrying a bomb at 11 am and then locked himself in the toilets. He was finally taken into custody at 1 pm.

In the meantime, terminals 1 and 2 were evacuated and a number of flights were delayed or cancelled. The terminals were not reopened until 4.30 pm.

I hope the guy was tested for an alcohol and PVV will take into account a cultural behaviour of Russians while on holidays )))

How did they find that he is a Russian if he has no ID? Or for Dutch police every person who speaks Russian is a Russian citizen by default? It's the same if I'd say that every guy who speaks English is from UK (but deny the fact that he can be from US, Australia, NZ, Canada, etc.)
