Scotland Yard today announced they have a 'significant lead' in the search for the person responsible for the volcanic ash cloud which is causing so much disruption to Northern Europe.
A coded message received yesterday evening from someone claiming responsibility for the cloud threatened further action involving 'hot hail' and a 'giant laser beam'. This along with other statements contained in the message have lead Police Chiefs to issue an arrest warrant with immediate effect for Ming the Merciless.
Scotland Yard have refused to comment any further except to say the case will now be lead by Brian Blessed and his team of Hawkmen.
