British man convicted for Twitter bomb 'threat'

None

A court has convicted a British man of sending a menacing electronic communication for saying on Twitter that he would blow up an airport.

 

Chambers was arrested in January after he posted a message on the micro-blogging site saying he would blow Robin Hood Airport "sky high" if his flight was delayed. A judge at Doncaster Magistrates' Court ordered Paul Chambers to pay 1,000 pounds ($1,500) in a fine and costs. (AP)
