Swedish police have released a man arrested last month when he tried to board a London-bound Ryanair plane with a loaded gun in his hand luggage.
Prosecutors in the case have said they are continuing to investigate if Kerim Chatty had intended to hijack the flight.
But, they added nothing indicates that Mr Chatty intended to crash the plane into a target in Sweden or any other country.
