A 29-year-old British man was arrested at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam after making bomb threats, according to Dutch police.

The incident took place at around 8am on New Year’s causing panic among the passengers.

The man was immediately arrested and a photograph posted online showing him lying face down on the ground as two armed officers pointed a gun at him.

It is always nice when a friend or relative fetches you from the airport whenever you visit your motherland. This time it was not my sister who was waiting for me, but a friend that I have known for years, Özkan Gölp?nar. We are friends, really good friends. When he got divorced, he stayed at my place; when I got divorced, I stayed at his.

One of the 298 people who were killed in the Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 crash in eastern Ukraine took a photo of the plane at the Schiphol airport and posted it on Facebook. 

Ironically, his comment was “Should it vanish, this is what it looks like”, referring to the recent accident with another Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777, which disappeared mysteriously over the Indian Ocean.
