Australian air bomb hoax arrests nab two men
Sydney police said they arrested a 38 year old Australian marine engineer and a 31 year old Englishman known as Mr Brown who allegedly collected about 560000 dollars from Qantas over a threat to blow up a Hong Kong bound airliner with 128 aboard. The hoax prompted a seven hour air ramp before the 707 returned to Sydney. Police recovered some money but much was still missing as the Englishman was captured after a car chase in Sydney's eastern suburbs.
