london - The man who tried to smuggle a pipe bomb aboard a plane at Manchester airport was sentenced to eighteen years in prison on Wednesday. The judge considered him guilty of possession of explosives with the intention of endangering lives.

43-year-old Nadeem Muhammad wanted to check in on a flight from Ryanair to Italy on January 30 when security officers discovered a bomb in his hand luggage. The explosive was clogged in the locked sleeve of a marker and was designed to be detonated by hand.
