December 14, 2013 01:50

Terry Lee Loewen, 58, has been charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. Mr Loewen, an aviation technician, does not appear to have been affiliated with any religious group, police said.

Authorities said Mr Loewen was snared by undercover FBI investigators and the public was never in danger. "There was no breach of Mid-Continent's Airport's security," said Kansas US Attorney Barry Grissom in a statement. "At no time was the safety of travellers or members of the public placed in jeopardy."
