A British former bomb disposal worker has been held in Dubai after he refused to board a flight - fearing there was a bomb onboard.
Ex paramedic Steve Long, 39, was arrested by airport security staff in Abu Dhabi after he told them he was scared of getting on the plane. Steve, of Stockport, worked for years as a paramedic involved with bomb disposal units in the military and civilian sector.
His family believe he had been suffering from undiagnosed PTSD from his job that led to him being paranoid that there was a bomb. But concerned airport security staff chose to arrest Steve after he informed them of his fears on January 28 - and he was fined over £100k.
