Slovakia, Bratislava - Ireland, Dublin - A quantity of danger explosives was brought into Ireland as result of failed security test in Slovakia.Скорый перевод:
Взрывчатку перевезли в Ирландию из-за провалившегося тестирования системы безопасности в Словакии.
Во время проведения тестирования системы безопасности в субботу словацкие власти поместили 8 специальных предметов, которые содержали пластичное взрывчатое вещество, в багаж ничего не подозревающих пассажиров, которые отправлялись из аэропортов Братиславы и Попрад/Татры.
7 предметов были найдены службой безопасности аэропорта, но 8-й – 90 граммов взрывчатого вещества - был потерян. Этот предмет неосознанно перевез в Ирландию, Дублин, в своем багаже 49 летний словак.
Об ошибке во время эксперимента словацкие власти сообщили своим ирландским коллегам. Но произошло это лишь во вторник, 3 дня спустя. В течение спецоперации, которая последовала после звонка из Братиславы, дороги вокруг Дорсет Стрит, недалеко от оживленного района ирландской столицы, были оцеплены. Прилегающие дома эвакуированы. Спецотряд ирландской армии по обезвреживанию бомб нашел взрывчатое вещество в чемодане. Состояние вещества эксперты описали как «устойчивое».
Словак, владелец чемодана, был арестован на месте, но после того как до полиции дошло, что он невиновен, арест был снят. Владельцу несчастливого чемодана предъявлять обвинения не будут.
Источник в службе безопасности назвал произошедшее «ошибкой, в которую просто нельзя поверить. Если бы взрывчатка детонировала, это бы могло привести к серьезным повреждениям и даже могло убить, если бы это произошло в самолете»
During the live security tests on Saturday, Slovak authorities planted eight special items, including the plastic explosives, in the luggage of unsuspecting passengers as they prepared to board international flights at Bratislava and Poprad airports. Seven items were detected by airport security, but the eighth one - 90g of research development explosive (RDX) - was lost and unwittingly transported to Dublin by 49-year-old Slovakian man in his luggage.
The Slovakia's police alerted Ireland's Garda about danger security failure on Tuesday morning, three days after it happened. During the security operation followed the call from Bratislava, the roads around the Dorset Street apartment complex, close to Dublin’s main thoroughfare O’Connell Street, were sealed off. All the adjoining homes and businesses were evacuated and a security cordon was maintained. The Ireland's Army bomb disposal team found the explosives still concealed in men's luggage. The explosives was described as in a “stable state”.
The Slovakian man was arrested at the scene, but Garda are now satisfied that he is innocent and he was released from custody. He should not face charges.
One security source said: “It is an unbelievable mistake. If that much explosive was detonated, it would cause serious damage, it would kill if it went off in a plane."
The Embassy of Slovak Republic in Dublin declined to comment, but Slovakia's Interior Minister Robert Kalinak has conveyed his profound regret to Ireland's Justice Minister Dermot Ahern.

Incident: Danube Wings B734 at Poprad/Tatry on Jan 2nd 2010, planted explosives undetected
By Simon Hradecky, created Wednesday, Jan 6th 2010 00:16Z, last updated Wednesday, Jan 6th 2010 00:20Z
A passenger on a Danube Wings Boeing 737-400, registration OK-WGY performing flight V5-8230 from Poprad/Tatry (Slovakia) to Dublin (Ireland), unknowingly had explosives in his luggage, which had been planted by Slovakian security forces but remained undetected during the following security screening. The airplane arrived safely in Dublin, following a tip off by Slovakian security personnel the passenger was taken into custody by Irish police but later released without bail and charges.
Slovakian security forces planted 9 packages of about three ounces (90 grams) of explosives each into checked luggage of passengers before security screening. Eight packages were detected, but the nineth passed security screening. Slovakian forces later called their counterparts in Dublin however without initially explaining their role in planting the device, so that the Irish forces took the passenger into custody. Only after the Slovaks explained their role in planting the device, the passenger was released without charges and without bail a few hours later.
The Slovakian security forces say, there was no danger. The explosives were stable, not connected to any detonator, and could not have exploded. Irish forces, who do similiar exercises to test security screening, called the procedure to hide such packages in passenger luggage stupid, they use only luggage under control of security forces rather than luggage of unwitting passengers outside the control of security forces.
