An Afghan man who was part of a group of hijackers who held up a plane is now working at Heathrow.

Nazamuddin Mohammidy helped take over an internal Afghan flight in 2000 and force it to land at Stanstead demanding asylum.

The hijackers managed to prevent police and SAS marksmen from arresting them for four days before they eventually surrendered.

They were all jailed but later freed after the Court of Appeal quashed their convictions.

Mr Mohammidy, who was granted the right to stay in Britain, now lives with his family in Hounslow.

He was employed by a Feltham company which cleans BA training centres - although the 34-year-old does not have airside access.

His employment status came to light after police arrested him while driving at Heathrow's T5 wrongly thinking he was working as an unlicensed mini-cab.

He was arrested for breaching bail conditions over an alleged assault on a former landlord, but Uxbridge magistrates bailed him again.

He is due to appear again in Ealing on Monday.

A BA spokesman said: "We have been helping police with their inquiries into a man who is employed by a cleaning contractor."
