Passenger detained at Madeira Airport with ammunition and bombs in his suitcase

A Madeiran passenger was arrested, today, at Madeira Airport, when he tried to board a flight with four ammunition and six (throwing) bombs in his hand luggage. The news was advanced by Correio da Manhã, which adds that the prohibited objects were detected by the x-ray equipment.

The same newspaper reports that the 50-year-old passenger intended to board a flight to Switzerland. ANA’s commercial flights chart for today at Cristiano Ronaldo Airport does not include any departure to Switzerland.
