Stansted hijacker working for BA
16.05.08
A member of a gang who hijacked a plane that landed at Stansted Airport now works at a British Airways office building near Heathrow, according to press reports. Afghan national Nazamuddin Mohammidy, 34, of Hounslow, Middlesex, is employed by a cleaning contractor only a mile from the airport, the company confirmed.
Mr Mohammidy is one of nine men who seized an Ariana plane in February 2000 on an internal flight in Afghanistan and ordered the pilot to fly to Stansted. They were given asylum despite attempts by the Government to remove them.
His job at Heathrow came to light after he was stopped by police at the airport's Terminal 5. He works about a mile away at a BA office building and training centre.
Mr Mohammidy was held for breaching the conditions of his bail over charges of assault and criminal damage from December last year. He appeared in custody before Uxbridge magistrates on Wednesday accused of being in breach of bail after being charged with assault and criminal damage in December last year. He will appear before Ealing Magistrates Court on May 19.
A spokesman for British Airways said that Mr Mohammidy did not work inside the airport and did not have an airside pass.
