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